Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare example of adamite from Tsumeb!!! While the green, copper-rich variety cuprian adamite is seen
with relative frequency from Tsumeb, true adamites are scarcely encountered!!! This specimen hosts numerous highly lustrous, slightly rounded
bladed crystals of yellow adamite!!! The adamite crystals have sharp, lustrous terminations that exhibit a curious darkening right at the tip!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! This specimen is from the Cilen collection and retains its original label as well!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 4th!!!
