An aesthetic and really interesting specimen. Four well-formed cuprite crystals with tiny green brochantite crystals and blue connellite puffballs, sitting on a bed of white smithsonite stained by goethite. Then under longwave UV, you can see a couple of light red fluorescing calcite crystals, and small areas of tiny marshite crystals. These fluoresce bright red. There is a row of marshite crystals on the top of the cuprite in the photo, just out of sight. Width of view 14.5mm. Stack of 110 images.
