Description

Good and interesting, unusual adamite specimen from Lavrion. The piece is a crust that is composed entirely of adamite. The front side is filled with highly lustrous and gemmy crystals and the back has a bizarre texture. Although the crust is quite thin, the piece is stable and safe to ship and handle. It is better in person.
