Adamite (fluorescent classic)

Item Description

Unusually discrete crystals, to 1.25 cm across, of glassy and gemmy, lime colored adamite are emplaced on a matrix of ocherous limonite. The crystals are unusually bright, even for adamite which is generally nice and sparkly even as an average. Adamite is quite reactive in UV lighting, with this piece glowing a bright, neon green under LW UV (pictured). In person, the luster really will impress more than pics can convey. an old Mexico classic, although this style is from a 2008 pocket at this historic old economic locality, reworked for specimen mining in recent years.
