It didn't look like this in your earlier picture, but yes this appears to be adamite.
If you happen to have a fluorescent lamp ("black light"), the mineral will brightly fluoresce a greenish color.

Or maybe the ones in the other picture are a different thing, they're way smaller; just thought they come from the same place.

Ok, those smaller ones might be mimetite instead of adamite. They're both arsenic minerals though, and they're all common to find in minerals specimens from that particular mine.
If you have other things you want to ID, you're always welcome to message me.
