A shard of gossan matrix hosts several intergrown clusters of gemmy, lustrous, green cuprian adamite. This great thumbnail comes from finds in the early 2020s at the Hilarion Mine in Greece. Unusual isolation and sharpness makes the crystals on this one stand out, to my eye, more than some others. It is an exquisite example with more contrast than most, in its aesthetic arrangement on matrix.
