According to most sources adamantine is just a really really expensive way to not penetrate DR or hit incorporeal creatures or ethereal creatures or do anything else that a less expensive magical weapon can do.
The only bonus is you are harder to sunder than a cheaper magical weapon when you are inside an anti-magic field.
Yay!

But I thought mithral was shiny blue/white/silver metal and adamantine was solid black and almost lusterless.. Good drow and dwarf metal.
At least that's what I remember of 2e Complete Book of Elves metallurgy. Adamantine = radioactive (how silly?) charged metal from down below, black and naturally magical.
Mithral = silvery blue moonlight charged metal of the surface elves.
So a magical blade would not only be shinier but also 30% likely to shed light as a torch.
