At the base of this specimen, there are elongated, bladed Azurite crystals which have partially pseudomorphed to Malachite. Much of the specimen is composed of white colored, massive Aragonite. There are also small white colored crystals on the Azurite/Malachite crystals. These crystals appear more like Dolomite crystals and might be a secondary growth (the massive material readily reacts to HCl). There are more Azurite/Malachite crystals barely visible underneath the white material.
Condition: Good
Flaws: A couple of the Azurite/Malachite crystals are incomplete.
