Adamite

Anonymous Owner
A recognizable Mexican classic, this glistening adamite on contrasting limonite matrix has sharp terminations and vibrant yellow-green color. Glows a neon green under UV light. In great condition, there is light contact to the outer edge that does not detract. Ex: Gene Schlepp
