Description

This specimen comes from the new fantastic find of adamites from Greece. These adamite are some of the if not the best we have ever seen from the country. They also have a very rare for Greece, yellowish color which might be common for Mexico but is extremelly rare for Lavrion. The adamite on this piece forms lustrous, gemmy pinwheels to 0.9cm, on contrasting white crystals of calcite. Damage wise, there is a ding on the side of one of the clusters and a tiny little crystal missing. It is much better in person and it is a must for the Lavrion collector.
