Item Description
Luscious, lustrous, sharply terminated, rich forest-green, cuprian adamite crystals form a striking, very aesthetic thumbnail from Tsumeb. Adamites of this color and quality are just not that common from this famed mine. The color saturation is absolutely first-class and the unusual, lighter striping on the termination faces adds character. Although not pristine, with the periphery wear on the back and sides, the visual impact of these two stacked crystals is outstanding. Rare quality.
