Chrysocolla after Hemimorphite from 79 Mine, Hayden, Arizona, USA [db_pics/pics/au794c.jpg]

A 1.3cm crystal of Hemimorphite that has pseudomorphed to Chrysocolla and is flat lying on matrix. This is a common pseudomorph from the mine but all I've seen before are dense, drusy coverings of small crystals. This fully exposed, fan-shaped cluster well displayed on matrix is fabulous.
