This is Adamite Crystals on Matrix mined in Mapimi, Durango, Mexico. Adamite typically occur as small, brightly colored, prismatic or blocky crystals, or as crusts or aggregates. It is commonly found in association with other minerals such as limonite, calcite, and smithsonite. Adamite colors include green, yellow, white, and reddish-brown. The green color of adamite is caused by the presence of traces of copper in its crystal structure. One of the unique features of adamite is its strong fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) light. It can exhibit vibrant green or yellow fluorescence.
Adamite was first discovered in 1866 in the Ojuela Mine in Durango, Mexico. It was named after French mineralogist Gilbert-Joseph Adam (1795-1881), who studied the mineralogy of the mine.
Adamite is associated with joy, creativity, and the balancing of energies. Some believe it can enhance one's ability to express themselves and promote a positive outlook. It is highly valued by collectors for its bright colors and distinctive crystal habits and would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.
