Fire engine red, is the best colour to describe the chalcotrichtite that forms large mats of acicular crystals through this specimen. The matrix is a contrasting peanut butter coloured asphaltium rich gossan.

 An amazing specimen, that displays well without support and is covered all the way around with chalcotrichtite and the odd deep red scaggy cuprite
