Two intergrown, gorgeous and lustrous, blue-green cuprian adamite botryoids form an aesthetic thumbnail. This very showy specimen is from a recent, 2006, and small find at the Brenner Mine at Dalnegorsk. The Brenner Mine is the oldest upper workings of the Verchniy Mine. The fine color is reminiscent of classic kelly-blue smithsonite, excepting the crystal form.
