About Cobalt-bearing Adamite
Formula:
Zn2(AsO4)(OH)
A name for a supposed cobalt-bearing variety of adamite, but actually a very small amount of cobalt is required to give adamite a pink colour.
Originally reported from Cap Garonne Mine, Pradet, Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
Note: the pink to violet adamite from the Ojuela mine, Mexico, is actually a Mn-bearing variety.
