Pastel blue chrysocolla, some forming sharp replacement of calcite crystals, cover the display face. A second generation of translucent calcites are clustered at one edge of the display face. On the back are abundant, pale green, fibrous malachite; this same material is most likely the origin of the chrysocolla color. Minor, botryoidal goethite. Nice condition.
