Description

This is a very rare and excellent color tone of Lavrion adamite. It comes from a small find that was immediately sold to local collectors, even I could not get a piece at the time. The adamite balls have tiny needle-like tips on the surface and that gives them a nice luster. They also contrast nicely against the white aragonite matrix!

ex. Konstantinos Papaspyropoulos collection.
