A specimen comprised of well-formed, midnight-blue crystals on gossan. There are small malachite-coated cuprite octahedra in association on this piece. Gorgeous intense blue under strong light, and super under magnification. In excellent condition from the optimal display angle (some contacted areas visible from other angles).
