A great combination of three Carbonate minerals from the oxidation zone of the Broken Hill Orebody, Australia. A rather cellular aggregate of species, with lustrous deep royal blue bladed Azurite crystals to 1.4cm clustered and scattered over the specimen. Light green botryoidal 'stalactites' of Malachite coat the top surface of the specimen, with bladed crystals of white Cerussite in various areas. All the supergene species have developed over a Goethite/Quartz matrix.
