Cuprian Adamite from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia is one of its classic species, with the mine producing some of the best specimens in the world. This small miniature / large thumbnail is a solid cluster of intergrown sea-green Cuprian Adamite crystals, one measuring 10 x 5 x 4 mm and all with a superb bright lustre. The crystals have developed with horizontal furrows around the prism faces giving a pagoda-type structure and resulting in a very attractive silky appearance. A choice Cuprian Adamite from Tsumeb.
