Adamite

Cabinet, 10.6 x 7.4 x 7.4 cm
SOLD
An intact POCKET of lustrous, sparkly crystals of adamite, intergrown with clear hemimorphites that add an intense brightness. The matrix is the typical iron-rich limonite, and provides a pretty contrast. Normally, you see adamites of this form as rather plates or parts of pockets, or deposited on a rather nebulous matrix, so it is unusual and quite aesthetic to see an actual pocket such as this, removed intact.
