Massive light green chrysocolla and sprays of darker green brochantite on a crystalline quartz matrix. The brochantite is quite nice under magnification: hand lens, microscope or hand lens. Normally I would derust the quartz (I am writing a book about mineral cleaning...) but there are no known methods to do this which would not also destroy the copper minerals.
