Adamite is a zinc arsenate hydroxide mineral. It is a mineral that typically occurs in the oxidized or weathered zone above zinc ore occurrences. Pure adamite is colorless, but usually it possess yellow color due to Fe compounds admixture.

Tints of green also occur and are connected with copper substitutions in the mineral structure. Adamite occurs as a secondary mineral in the oxidised zone of zinc- and arsenic-bearing hydrothermal mineral deposits. Adamite was named after the French mineralogist Gilbert-Joseph Adam.

Metaphysical Healers say Adamite has healing effects on the physical body as well and is recommended for anyone dealing with depression, mental fog, everyday cloudiness, or lack of energy. Heightening ones drive and determination will make any distant goal or dream become a not so distant reality, enabling one to work towards achieving ones goal.
