This specimen is covered with radiating, long, thin, tapered Aragonite crystals. These crystals are generally off white in color with places where there is a light pink color and other places where tere is a light green color. Small aggregates of Malachite can be found in several places on the sides of the specimen. Beneath the Aragonite is a bed of Calcite which fluoresce bright red under SW UV. The bottom of the specimen (not pictured) has areas of a gray sulfide covered with a druze of clear micro crystals, both of which are unidentified.

Condition: Good

Flaws: The Malachite is bruised in most places on the specimen. The Aragonite is in very good condition with no appreaciable damage.
