This major, world class adamite specimen was a real surprise from the rarities suite. It consists of sharp, chisel-pointed yellow-biege adamite crystals to about 4 cm, erupting from the matrix in a graceful curving cluster. I have never seen the like for sale and consider it a major example fo the species. Marty was very proud, and with good reason, of his adamite suite - one of the true highlights of the collection as a whole. 8.5 x 6.3 x 6.1 cm
