Bright electric blue acicular crystals of Clinoclase from the now defunct Majuba Hill Mine. Unlike Clinoclase from other areas or the mine, crystals from the Tin Stope form as spherical masses of needle-like crystals. Specimens such as this that have the blue Clinoclase atop the green Cornubite are especially attractive. There is also another lighter green, unidentified mineral atop the Cornubite.
