Blocky crystals of what were once azurite measuring to 2.0 cm in size, these now replaced by beautiful velvety crystallized malachite, are covering the top of a very thin matrix. Sparkling micro crystals of barite are scattered throughout. In very good condition. Neat combination specimen for this locality.
