This specimen is an intergrowth of copper, malachite and cuprite. The copper takes on a dark, reddish-brown patina where it coats the copper. Uncoated copper has a fresh coloration. These darker colors are offset by rich green malachite overgrowth of copper. Although crystallization is at a minimum, the riot of colors makes this a beautiful specimen and it is significant for the locality as well
