Description

An interesting druse of Malachite/Azurite which has had a secondary overgrowth of micro clear prismatic Quartz, followed by a tertiary overgrowth of transparent rhombs of Calcite crystals, to 6mm. Not the rarest of species but a very interesting sequence of mineralisation and a pretty display piece to boot.
