Green spherulites of probable Conichalcite are scattered amongst the Roselite crystals, with spherulites of red-brown Goethite. A prominent glassy doubly terminated crystal of Calcite is apparent, with other scattered elongate crystals present in the cavity. The matrix is a pinkish Dolomite lining a cavity in light grey rock.
