Adamite with the apple-green color and top luster is famous, and one of the most unique colors in a collection shelf! This piece has a huge display surface covered with the most sparkly, highly lustrous, classic granny-smith-apple-green color. It displays phenomenally, although it should be noted there are a few small damages on the edges and the periphery - acceptable given price and size, in my opinion. While not perfect, it is gorgeous and priced accordingly, as well. This would have been found in the 1950s or early 1960s, and was in Jack Halpern's collection by the late 1960s as one of his first 1000 pieces, where it has remained for over 50 years! Highly fluorescent as well, as a bonus.
