Description
Highly prized in most collections, Adamite is usually found in blocky to elongated orthorhombic blades. Here you have beautifully developed thin crystals grouped to form a stunning radial fan or "pinwheel" as the colelctors call them. With such a rich yellow color and excellent luster, this incredibly aesthetic specimen is super-choice. Most pinwheels are simply not on matrix...I guess they just fall off...but this is firmly anchored
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
