A vuggy, multi layered, ocherous limonite has been filled with rosettes of sparkling, dark lime green cuproadamite crystals of small size but high sugary brilliance. With wonderful contrasting colors and textures, this specimen also gives us a look at a different habit of cuproadamite. In person, the piece would be rotated a bit up and shows more coverage than the photo leads you to believe (i.e. BETTER In PERSON) .
