Malachite pseudomorph after Azurite

2.8 cm x 2.4 cm x 1.4 cm
 
Out of an old collection, comes this very interesting pseudomorph specimen for an old locale.
This is a specimen of Malachite and Azurite, where the crystal of azurite has been almost completely replaced by malachite.
The malachite is fiberous, and with the weight of the specimen, it might be covering a copper nodule.
The replaced crystal, as the malachite nodule it sits on shows just a hint of the blue from the azurite.
This is an unusual specimen from this well known old locale.
