Azurite : Cu3[OH|CO3]2

In the summer of 1993 I have found a lot of Azurite/Malachite specimen's and this is one of them.
I have found it as a long, small and deep cavity with some blue and green stain in the barite ore, and when I cracked the cavity open I was very surprised about the huge amount of Azurite and Malachit crystals in it.
The picture shows a f.o.v. about 80 mm
