Abundant, deep green and somewhat fuzzy/velvety malachite, abundant on a limonite matrix. Some of the malachite has a bladed habit, suggesting it may have replaced azurite. In other places the malachite habit is more spherical; perhaps this is a second malachite generation, deposited simultaneously with (or sometime after) the initial azurite-to-malachite transformation. Very nice condition.
