A 1.7cm rosette of deep forest green Volborthite with 2 attached Azurite crystals. The main Volborthite has a second rosette penetrating into the fron and is well crystallized on both sides (there is even a tiny bit of Malachite attached to the back). The two Azurite crystals are doubly-terminated. A stunning and undamaged thumbnail sized specimen and an uncommonly aesthetic specimen of a rare mineral.
