Thick layer of Chrysocolla (?) wrapping around Quartz upon which grow numerous pristine Liroconite crystals. The Liroconite reach 6mm in size and are present on both the top and bottom of specimen and are of the less common blue/green color. From the type locality for the species, likely found in the mid 1800s. Despite it's age and there being dozens (a hundred?) crystals, I can find no damage.
