Historic European Rarity: Sky-Blue Adamite on Matrix
This highly aesthetic miniature specimen presents an exceptional colour rarity among mineral specimens: fascinating sky-blue adamite from the historic Hilarion Mine in the Lavrion District, Attica, Greece. While adamite most commonly occurs in yellow to green hues, this fine locality specimen stands out for its rare pale-blue colour. Delicate crystals are attractively arranged on a natural, contrasting rock matrix and display a vitreous lustre.
Historic Lavrion Locality of Outstanding Importance
The mineral-rich Lavrion District is one of Europe’s most famous historic mining regions and is highly regarded by collectors of classic locality specimens. Measuring 4.5 × 3.3 × 2.0 cm and weighing 23.4 g, this specimen is a classic miniature with excellent documentary and locality value. An attractive and historically significant addition to a collection of European minerals and classic old-time specimens.
