Adamite, Aragonite

Locality: Santa Eulalia District, Mun. de Aquiles Serdán, Chihuahua, Mexico

Gorgeous, sherbert-green, super lustrous, spherical clusters of adamite contrast nicely with a matrix of white aragonite. The largest sphere is 1.5 cm across. The crystals actually glow as if they were radioactive , with neon color! This small pocket found a few years ago is just awesome, and unique for the species. This is one of the best miniatures, I am sure. 4.5 x 3.1 x 2.6 cm
