An AESTHETIC and EXCELLENT 4.5 cm spray of pastel-green to olive-green adamite prisms to 6 mm nicely set on contrasting gossan matrix from the famous Gold Hill District of Utah. Trivial damage certainly does not detract from this fine, old-time piece. 7.0 x 5.0 x 3.1 cm
An aesthetic thumbnail of a sphere of lustrous, lime-green adamite crystals resting on a "foot" of adamite from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. Ex Sam Nasser Collecton. 2.7 x 2.5 x 1.7 cm
A RICH and BEAUTIFUL Tsumeb specimen of very sparkly, green cuprian adamite microcrystals on matrix. Ex Willy Israel Collection, who purchased this piece from dealer Clive Queit in October, 1986. 4.1 x 3.4 x 1.7 cm
Cuproadamite in lustrous, translucent, green, botryoids in a limonite matrix. The spheres average .5 cm across. 8.5 x 6.5 x 4.8 cm
Discrete crystal fans, of highly lustrous, transparent, pastel yellow, adamite, to 1.5 cm across. 8.5 x 4.9 x 2.6 cm
A rich, imposing, colorful specimen with clusters of brilliantly lustrous adamite to 2 cm, all over it! The brightness of the adamite is impressive, but the coverage more so. There are two different habits of adamite here: the common green fanspray crystals and a more rare style of translucent gemmy single crystals. 13 x 11.4 x 7.9 cm
A scupltural and showy, two-sided specimen from the famous Mina Ojuela of Mexico. Sparkly, transparent, two-toned, yellow-green to gray-green adamite crystals coat the matrix of botryoidal, gray-brown smithsonite, which is revealed on the other side. Minor bruising is certainly not detracting. 5.2 x 3.4 x 2.1 cm
Rich, very attractive forest of very sharp green opaque crystals up to .7 cm in length completely covering the upper surface of the matrix. Unusual ! Aesthetic and impressive in its own right. Purchased from the Zweibels in 1976 4.2 x 3.6 x 2.7 cm
Another specimen with the Fred Pough pedigree, intergrown whorls of light pastel-green adamite, with a fine luster, from Mapimi. 3.0 x 2.3 x 1.6 cm
Translucent, lustrous, light, pastel-green, cupro-adamite crystals, to almost 2.0 cm across. Ex Tom McKee, and Evan Jones collections. Great color and luster! 5.2 x 4.9 x 2.3 cm
A classic purple adamite. The crystals, which exhibit a lighter color at their base grading to rich purple at the tips, have good luster and slight translucence. The crystals average 1.0 cm in length. 4.5 x 3.6 x 3.3 cm
Nestled aesthetically in a limonite vug, are complete spheres of lustrous, translucent, yellow-green adamite, which measure 2.5 cm across. Individual, adamite crystals exhibiting radial growth. 4.3 x 4.1 x 3.3 cm
This specimen, on a limonite matrix, features extremely lustrous, translucent, yellow-green, crystals of adamite, including those with radial growth that formed an exquisite “pinwheel” that measures over 3.1 cm across. Very showy! This is a competition level piece that is really at the heights of what you can ask for in an adamite of this size and quality. 4.8 x 4.2 x 2.3 cm
These rare crystals were found by John Whitmire. Crystals to 1.5 cm. Formerly in the collection and with label of Willard Perkins, the collector who invented the so-called "Perky Box" for thumbnails. (it also has microcrystals of lotharmeyerite: tiny dark red needles scattered on the black matrix. 2.7 x 2.5 x 1.8 cm
These rare crystals, of this quality, were found just ONCE in the mid 1980s and brought to market by John Whitmire in a single offering at the Tucson show. Super crystals to 1.75 cm, top quality, in an elegant splayed cluster! Collection of Willard Perkins, the collector who invented the so-called "Perky Box" for thumbnails. 1.8 x 1.4 x 0.9 cm
