Groups of doubly terminated crystals of Azurite with Calcite on a Limonite matrix, rich with small crystals of Oxiplumboroméite and small growths of Malachite. Oxiplumboroméite is known but scarcely cited at this locality, probably due to its similarity with the clays that cover much of the specimens from Touissit.
The specimen is from the James Catmur collection, whose label will be sent to the buyer.
