Zn2(AsO4)(OH)
An uncommon zinc arsenate mineral, adamite occurs in the oxidised zone of zinc deposits usually as equant colourless crystals, but may also be yellow, purple (manganoan) or green (copper). However most if not all green adamites are now generally considered to be the species zincolivenite, and will be included in that section.
