Sparkly pinwheels of yellow-green adamite, attractively isolated on a matrix of limonite. What is cool about this specimen is that the backside is covered with adamites of a completely different form - small translucent-to-transparent, euhedral crystals! There are three separate parts of exposed pockets on this one matrix.
