While there have been thousands of adamites, seldom do you get such aesthetics, such balance, combined with the ultimate in glassy luster and translucent yellow-green color-saturation. This piece has long been held as the "model" for what a killer adamite of this habit (so-called "green pinwheels") should look like, and was a signature piece of the collection. Its striking color and luster is not well-captured in the photo, and it is much more intense in person. Once a core specimen on display in both his museum, and later for a decade in the University of Arizona Mineral Museum on loan from the Romero family. Featured in the book on Romero's collection, on page 32. Jeff Scovil photo
