Identity HelpMalachite Pseudomorph after Azurite?
18th Jan 2020 04:22 UTCJulie Farnsworth
One of my students gave me this as a gift. It came from Millipas, Mexico, and that's what they were told it was. I'm afraid to run any kind of tests on it, not really knowing what to do. The whole piece is about 5x6x6 cm. The green crystals run throughout

Welcome to mindat Julie.
You are right, it's a malachite pseudo after azurite and the locality seems OK too.
Enjoy the specimen.

Agree.
No need to be afraid, just enjoy the specimen.

Actually wasn't too bad for a 4th grader!
I'd say pretty good for a beginner.....
