A classic radiating adamite cluster, in sharp crystals that form a hemisphere. It is comlete on the front as shown, and stands at this angle so you look right at the "ball" of crystals, although it is actually half of a sphere and that is just how they form. Gorgeous in a case. Properly speaking, this may be a bit large for a regulation thumbnail specimen and is more of a toenail or small miniature.
