Description

Elegant and rich miniature of apple green cuprian adamite on typical gossan matrix. Crystals are very lustrous and in excellent conditions, aggregated as 3D asterisks and with very good transparency.

One of the most classic localities for gossan and As-rich minerals.
Collected in the early 2000s from a small pocket by the legendary Christos Kapellas (yes, the one of kapellasite!), it was one of the last finds before his passing.

Straight out of my Lavrion suite.
