Rare specimen of Shattuckite ps. after Cuprite. These are hard to find pseudomorphs and I've only ever seen the occasional specimen. This is a nice one with a relatively complete crystal with good faces all around.

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.
