Item Description

This mine is very well known for it's Adamite specimens, but some of the most highly sought after specimens of the Cuprian variety of Adamite are found here. This piece features a few good sized, sharp, lustrous, translucent, rich blue-green color crystals of Cuproadamite sitting on Limonite matrix. I've photographed some of the crystals under the microscope to help show how superb the quality truly is. These specimens are not nearly as readily available as they once were, and the best of these pieces are truly some of the most significant Adamite specimens extant.
