ADAMITE CRYSTALS SPECIMEN

Many photos and a video from all sides of the specimen taken in natural daylight. What you see is what you will receive, no surprises.

ORIGIN : LAVRION MINES, ATTICA, GREECE

A wonderful example of well formed translucent glassy Adamite crystals on contrasting host rock from the famous ancient Lavrion mines. Although crystals are obvious to the naked eye, specimen requires magnification to enjoy the well formed crystal structures. Specimen is mounted in a 40x34x31mm display case.The mineral Adamite is one of the signature minerals from the Lavrion mining district and it is named after Gilbert Joseph Adam. Will be an interesting addition to any rock and mineral collection. Here is the opportunity to add this delightful specimen from a classic, ancient locality to your collection. Do not miss this opportunity.

Most of the famous ancient Lavrion mines are over 2500 years old and have a total length of over 50 kilometers. They were built on 6 underground levels and the entire mining site constitutes a natural museum since more than 680 mineral species can be found to date in the region which comprises almost 12.5% of the known minerals worldwide. Lavrion has aroused the interest of a growing number of mineralogists and amateur collectors due to both the variety and the beauty of its samples. The story of how mining began in the Lavrion district is lost in the mists of early history. Many ancient writers and orators mention Lavrion including Aeschylus, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Lysias, Aristophanes and Strabo. According to Aristotle, it was in 483 B.C when the rich deposits of Maronia (present day Kamariza) were discovered.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
