Plancheite after Calcite with Quartz pseudomorph

Unknown Owner
Many scalenohedral crystals of what were once calcite measuring to 0.5 cm in size, these now replaced by attractive blue crystallized plancheite, across the top of this matrix. Calcite and malachite are present as well. In good condition with one area showing some damage. Still a very interesting and attractive pseudomorph specimen.
