 | "A RARE, old-time classic of lustrous, glassy purple apatite crystals on matrix from the famous Newry area of Maine. A very desirable Maine locality piece. This is old material, hard to get today. Ex Charlie Freed Collection. This piece has an exceptional glassy lustre and intense purple color from the locality. Try finding this at any mineral show! Adamite is a favorite among collectors of fluorescent minerals because of its consistent bright green fluorescence under short and long UV light. It also makes a wonderful mineral specimen in ordinary light. Adamite typically shows a radiating habit that is intermediate between a simple druse and a botryoidal habit which gives a nice glimpse into how botryoidal habits form."
