This adamite specimen was from the one-off find of rare purple coloured crystals in the 1980's. Two cavities in the limonitic rock contain sharp purple, bi-coloured and clear adamite crystals. There is also a little calcite and small areas of yellow crystals that from a visual inspection appears to be arsenbrackebuschite. Weak green fluorescence in SW UV light. Ex. Jim Knight collection #3009
