Converging crystallization has formed several hemispherical sprays of luscious, super-bright, apple green adamite, aesthetically perched as if climbing up a hill of contrasting limonite. The clusters average 1.8 cm across. If ever a specimen could be viewed as animate, this is the one: To a friend's eyes this specimen looks like a rhino climbing a rock and I can kinda see that too! But in any case, it is simply a stunning piece with far more aesthetics and 3-dimensionality than you normally expect to find in one of these specimens. Collected mostly in the late 60s and through the 70s, good adamites are today scarce on the market and special pieces like this one, in high demand.
