Item Description
A striking thumbnail specimen of gemmy and lustrous, yellow-green adamite crystals stunningly topped by a colorless calcite scalenohedron. The aesthetic mounded form of the adamite, with the two, exceptionally gemmy longer crystal "legs", is exquisitely placed in the shallow vug. Older material from the 1960s or 70s from this famed locale. Ex Dick Heck Collection.
