Description

This amazing color and sparkle drove me crazy at the first glance I took! Analysis showed rare earth element content, mainly Cerium in specimens with color like that. It is the best blue-green color I have seen in adamite. The sparkle on the piece is also great and the smithsonite botryoids atop of the adamite are an added bonus. Quality material from the November 2014 find that surprised us all! Please note that similar pieces have appeared here. Pay maximum attention to the luster because zero luster and no evidence of crystals or clear botryoidal structure may mean that you are looking at a mass, or acid-treated specimen!! I had the luck to pick the pieces, first before any other dealer!
