This piece is totally composed of intergrown, platy, yellowish cuprocopiapite crystals, associated with some bluish copper sulphate. . Where opening occur, there are crystals of this rare mineral. Some other potentially rare minerals present but I do not know what they are. The specimen has been dipped in some sort of liquid to preserve the crystals which are water soluble and subject to decrepitation. From the type locality!
