Another interesting Arizona copper-mineral specimen, this one from the classic 79 Mine (from recent re-mining there for specimens). Here is a ribbon of deep turquoise-blue acicular crystals of aurichalcite (actually gemmy on close inspection, one of those minerals that is incredibly beautiful as a micromount with its gemmy, colorful crystal sprays) -- intergrown with sparkly, colorless crystals of hemimorphite. GORGEOUS!
