Azurite with Gypsum

Spheroidal nodule formed by small lenticular Azurite crystals that have an intense color and good luster. They are on an unusual matrix of crystalline Gypsum with small Malachite inclusions. The sample is from a small area of old abandoned mines between Aouli and Mibladen, now rediscovered thanks to intensive manual mineral collecting at this zone.
