A tough quartzite matrix hosts dozens of individual dark green olivenite crystals to 0.5 cm. This occurence was found by accident at the Sir Dominic Copper Mine by a pair of collectors who were there to collect azurite/ malachite groups and psuedomorphs.

Only a limited number of these specimens were recovered. Very good example for the species in Australia
