ncat JP3528 Wulfenite, Chrysocolla, Whim Creek Copper Mine, Whim Creek, Roebourne Shire, Western Australia

January 3, 2022 Steve Australasia Australia Western Australia

An interesting paragenesis. I think what has happened is that malachite was replaced by blue chrysocolla, then wulfenite crystals formed on that, then a later coating of paler chrysocolla covered the lot! Ex Jo Price Collection. Width of view 9.5mm. Stack of 125 images.
