Description

This specimen is one of a few from the 2017 mining season that exhibit malachite with the azurite. It was first thought that these were malachite Psm azurite...  and that may be the case on other specimens, but I think this one is a result of secondary infiltration.  The colour is electric and the contrast amazing!
