Bright blue/green crystals of Botallackite on matrix. Botallackite is a rare copper oxychloride in the Atacamite group of minerals. The Type locality for Bottallackite is in Cornwall.  Valuation is variable as I have seen similar specimens offered for several hundreds of dollars or more at shows, but I value it at around $150.
