Conichalcite



Conichalcite
The green spheres in the vug are conichalcite.  Around the edges of the vug we see calcite
crystals, mostly translucent but a few green ones containing impurities of probably copper. 
The formula (CaCu(AsO4)(OH)) shows us conichalcite contains calcium, copper, arsenic,
oxygen and hydrogen



Conichalcite
Please notice that the crystals are on a shelf above the vug of conichalcite.
