Pale bluish green, sparkling to silky acicular crystals of Aurichalcite fill cavities in a wonderfully contrasting dark brown gossanous matrix. Along the top of the specimen runs a crest of lustrous Calcite crystals of a most attractive blueish green due to included Aurichalcite. A really beautiful specimen from the Graphic mine at Magdalena in New Mexico, USA.
