Although a small specimen, this is a great Greek adamite specimen. It hosts a well formed and large for the locality pinwheel of yellowish adamite on tiny little crystals of calcite. The main pinwheel measures 1cm across and if you add the second one, the adamite aggregate measures 1.2cm across. The yellowish color is extremely rare for Lavrion. The piece has good aesthetics and is in excellent condition as seen at the photos.
