Unusual specimen composed of a clsuter of elongated crystals of Malachite after Azurite with Azurite and Chalcocite on the tips. This is a new find from late 2014 and there were only 8 specimens in the lot I saw, this one being the best of them by a good measure. The color of the Azurite is nothing short of spectacular, looking like irridescent blue paint. A highly unusual specimen and a must for a Milpillas collector.
