Adamsfield is a locality in Tasmania, Australia, where osmiridium was discovered in 1925.
The name of Adam River Field or Adam's River Field preceded that of Adamsfield.[1][2] Alluvial mining resulted in one of the world's largest sources of osmium and iridium metal at the time of activity in the 1920s.[3][4] Florentine Post Office opened on 1 November 1925. It was renamed "Adamsfield" the next month and closed in 1960.[5][6]
