Aurichalcite, Hemimorphite, Calcite, Chrysocolla

Here is a great-looking specimen and interesting in many ways. The star of the specimen are the light blue, radiating acicular aurichalcie crystals, protected in the back of the vug. The vug is mostly lined with bladed colourless hemimorphite crystals and white disc-like calcite crystals. The original liningof the vug were small smithsonite crystals that can be seen here and there on the specimen. At the front of the specimen is an area of green-blue that is a grouping of small clusters of botryoidal chrysocolla. Very nice!
