Description

This incredible blue color is unique in the adamite world and has been found once, in 2014, in the Hilarion. Sparkling gemmy blue crystals, associated with botryoids of smithsonite. A killer mini from the find, for the great color and fine combination. From my personal collection.

The same find produced many specimens with a green tone, please pay attention to the huge difference of the color tone, the intense blue ones like this one, are very rare.
