Crystals of Chrysocolla that have pseudomorphed after a number of previous minerals. This came from a collection and one old label indicates the pseudomorphs are after Malachite. However there are 3 distinct crystal forms on the specimen - botryoidal, blocky rhombohedral clusters, and small spikey elongated crystals, so the Chrysocolla has replaced a few different types of minerals. Valued at $250.
