This is a unique specimen, featuring a 3-dimensional, complete-all-around cluster of thick adamite crystals perched atop a ridge of rolling gossan matrix. It is complete ALL AROUND, front, back, and sides. This is one of the largest clusters of crystallized adamite, in fact, that I am aware of. As an added bonus, to the aesthetics of the piece, you can see that many of the tips of the otherwise normal (but large) adamite crystals have altered to the rare purple manganoan variety. The combination is extremely rare, and to catch this in process even more so. A stunning specimen I vividly recall from the time when the Barlow collection was dispersed in 1998. There are other adamites out there, but few which stand out like this. Comes with custom base.
