CB36G2: The habitus is very unusual. The absence of the main prism suggests the apparent form of a dipyramid or an octahedron. The contrast between the vivid blue of the Azurite and the intense green of the Malachite is superb. This is one of the few pieces found with this crystallographic habitus at the locality. This specimen was published on the Mineralogical Record´s web page, in the ‘What's New’ section of the October 10, 2015 edition.
