Malachite pseudomorph after Azurite with Quartz

Bisbee, Warren District, Mule Mts, Cochise Co., Arizona

2.88cm x 1.42cm x 1.1cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A unique example of malachite after azurite from Bisbee!!! This specimen consists of a group of elongated, slightly divergent crystals of azurite that have been completely replaced by lively green malachite, prominently perched on a small amount of matrix and subsequently coated with a layer of minute, gem clear, quartz crystals!!! In addition to the malachite pseudomorphs, there are a couple partial botryoids of dense, gem-grade malachite near the base of the specimen!!! The crystals are terminated and undamaged!!! This specimen has particularly bright and intense green color, due in part to the fact that the malachite has a pronounced velveteen chatoyance!!! Quartz coated specimens such as this are uncommon from Bisbee!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
