Description

This is a superb Greek adamite specimen. The crystal size is enormous for the country. What we have here is a cluster of pinwheels that measures 2.6cm across. The knowledgable locality collectors understand the importance of this size in adamite from Lavrion. The color is a very rare and unusual yellowish to lime-greenish and there is a sugary luster on the adamite. The back side is contacted.
