Description

This is one of the few pieces of a small,new,important find for this variety of adamite.Those have to be the best representatives of the variety so far known and it's obvious why,I think.The crystals aggregates are big,with great luster and superb sea foam green color,on contrasting matrix.The aggregates are translucent and in person the individual crystals are sharp and textbook formed.I estimate this will be a future classic.
