Adamite (UV Reactive) Mineral Specimen

$30.00
Sold Out

Description

This Adamite specimen features a rich, iron-stained matrix accented by scattered, pale yellow-green adamite crystal aggregates. In natural light, the piece presents an earthy, textural appearance, with the adamite appearing as soft, granular to botryoidal formations resting across the reddish-brown host rock.

Under ultraviolet light, the specimen undergoes a dramatic transformation. The adamite fluoresces an intense neon yellow-green, erupting across the surface in vivid clusters that stand out sharply against the darkened matrix. The fluorescence is strong and immediate, making this piece especially striking for UV display and photography.

Dimensions & Weight

Dimensions: 3.5” x 2.5” x 1.75”
Weight: 149g

Collector’s Notes

Adamite is one of the most sought-after fluorescent minerals, and this specimen delivers both strong UV performanceand clear visual separation between matrix and fluorescent material. The distribution of the glowing adamite across the surface gives the piece a dynamic, almost topographic quality under blacklight.

This specimen is ideal for collectors who appreciate classic fluorescent species, as well as those building a curated UV display where bold color response is essential.

Highlights

  • Natural adamite on iron-rich matrix

  • Strong yellow-green fluorescence under UV light

  • Well-distributed fluorescent coverage

  • Visually appealing in daylight and under blacklight

  • Excellent specimen for UV-focused collections

Metaphysical Properties

Adamite is often associated with energy, creativity, and motivation. Its vivid fluorescence is frequently linked symbolically to vitality and illumination, making it a favorite among collectors who appreciate minerals that reveal hidden brilliance under the right conditions.

Mineralogy

  • Mineral: Adamite

  • Color: Pale yellow-green (bright green fluorescence under UV)

  • Luster: Vitreous to resinous

  • Crystal System: Orthorhombic

  • Hardness: 3.5–4 on the Mohs scale

  • Special Feature: Strong yellow-green fluorescence under ultraviolet light
