This is a rather large specimen of adamite from the classic finds here of the late 1960s throught early 1980s. The habit of the crystals is of radiating fan-sprays shooting out from the contrasting gossan matrix. Here you have several dozen of these so-called pinwheel clusters, to 2 cm, spaced across a large display face. Ex. Consie Prince Collection.
