Handsome specimen of mostly Malachite pseudomorphs of Azurite crystals. There remains several very nice lustrous virgin Azurite crystals to 8mm. Most of the Azurite was replaced by Malachite and carry a nice, shimmering and velvety surface. These Malachite crystals are up to 8mm and are well-formed with sharp edges. Overall this is a very nice specimen originally from Les & Paula Presmyk. The Detroit mine at Morenci produced copper from 1884-1932 and is a very desirable locality.

This is a nice deep green Malachite specimen with sprays of acicular crystals to about 0.5mm covering the entire face. This would make a good addition to any level collector.
