ADAMITE

(Alternate Names: Joyfire Stone, Willworker’s Crystal, Zinc Bloom)

Appearance

Usually yellow, green-yellow, lime, or chartreuse, though it can also appear blue, purple, or pink depending on trace elements. Often forms in sparkling drusy clusters, glassy wedge-shaped crystals, or glowing translucent masses. Its shine is almost electric—like crystallized sunlight trapped in a cavern.

Some specimens fluoresce under UV light, amplifying their supernatural glow.
