Azurite crystals which have partially pseudomorphed to fibrous Malachite. In places where the Azurite has not altered, it has a very high luster and is a deep, navy blue. One of the smaller Azurite crystals, when backlit, exhibits a vivid blue gemminess. There are scattered across the specimen interesting, small rhombic, clear Calcite crystals many of which have a thin coating of a white, unidentified material and elsewhere coated with a light green material which appears to be Chrysocolla. There are also present dark gray to black colored botryoidal material which is likely Chalc Chalcophanite. This is a very interesting specimen to view under magnification.

Condition: Excellent

Flaws: Nothing Appreciable
