Sparkling deep blue crystal groups of Veszelyite to 1.3cm on a matrix covered by Zincolibethenite. The two larger crystal groups are located near the top of the specimen and together are 2.3cm wide, with a smaller individual crystal with slightly lighter blue color to the lower left of the larger crystals. The Zincolibethenite forms a velvety green layer over the entire front of the matrix. Mined in 2022. The lighter colors on the large crystal groups is not damage, rather small amounts of attached Zincolibethenite and possibly Kipushite. The locality is a former Limestone quarry with Lead, Zinc, and Copper mineralization that closed in 2018.
