Beautiful, colorful example from the find that yielded REE rich adamite, associated with smithsonite and aragonite. This is a very fine example with blue, sparkling adamite serving as a bed for fine botryoidal smithsonite atop of it. The smithsonite turns slightly gray in some areas with some interesting white strips. Overall in good condition.
