THE MINERAL PARADAMITE ... Paradamite is dimorphous with a famous arsenic mineral, namely adamite. Dimorphous means that the two minerals have the same formula, but different structures (di means two; morphous means shape). Paradamite's different structure produces only slight differences in physical properties.
