Lustrous dark blue Azurite is still present along the edges of crystals and as a few terminations. The pseudormophed crystals towards the outer edges of the specimen are doubly terminated. The larger crystals and the reverse of the specimen is partly covered by light brown surgery crystals of Iron Oxide included Quartz. A classic specimen of Malachite pseudomorph after Azurite.
