Vivid bright blue crystals of Veszelyite on sky blue Hemimorphite. The Veszelyite crystals reach 5mm in size and are well separated. The Hemimorphite forms a botryoidal surface with a beautiful color contrast to the Veszelyite. Micro greenish/blue crystals of Kipushite, a rare copper and zinc phosphate species, are present on the Hemimorphite. Mined in 2022. The locality is a former Limestone quarry with Lead, Zinc, and Copper mineralization that closed in 2018.
