Azurite, Malachite

Locality: Morenci Mine (Morenci pit; Phelps Dodge Morenci Mine; Morenci-Metcalf), Morenci, Copper Mountain District (Clifton-Morenci District), Shannon Mts, Greenlee Co., Arizona, USA

A STRANGE and pretty Arizona specimen of botryoidal malachite that has apparently pseudomorphed from azurite, judging by the two balls at the peak that still consist of azurite. Looks like a caterpillar! 5.7 x 3.7 x 2.4cm
