This is a really interesting specimen under magnification, although we're not positive about the ID of the Stolzite. The white acicluar microcrystals appear to be Mimetite, the waxy green pea-like balls are an unidentified mineral, and if the Stolzite is present it is the orange-microcrystalline crust.
