Picture width is 3mm. Nice green crystals of Hellyerite (TL). Depth of field is achieved with CombineZM. This specimen is a pseudomorph of Hellyerite (Dehydration ?!). See discussion : http://www.mindat.org/mesg-7-145934.html . Normally the color is blue and then turns to green, but the specimen has preserved the nice crystal habit.
