Blue-green spheroidal clusters of copper-bearing Adamite crystals liberally cover the surface of a prior generation of likely calcite. There's a fair bit going on here mineralogically...we expect scalenohedral calcite crystals have pseudomorphed. Close up examination reveals at least 4 different minerals present (not tested/identified)
