Scintillating sprays of lustrous Atacamite crystals over Chrysocolla. The green Atacamite crystals atop the blue Chrysocolla make for one the more colorful and attractive specimens from this find that I've ever owned. This appears to be a breccia fragment that was first covered on all sides by Chrysocolla and later by the Atacamite. A fine and very rich example for the locality.
