Tiny blue-green scales of bluebellite with black murdochite. Visual identification. Photo taken in very difficult conditions by Pierre Clolus; collection Georges Favreau The specimen is from the same discovery as the material used in the study of the species. It fits with the description of the publication: bluebellite "forms bright bluish-green plates or flakes up to ~20 μm ×20 μm ×5 μm in size that are usually curved" and is "associated particularly with murdochite, but also with calcite, fluorite, hemimorphite and rarely dioptase in a highly siliceous hornfels."
