Columnar and stalactitic growths, very aerial, of Malachite, with the intense silky sheen typical of specimens from this locality, which gives them a peculiar "chatoyant" appearance. Deep green in color, it also has some curious concretionary Malachite growths with a much lighter tone, with small recrystallized holes in the terminations, probably due to very rapid growth.
