Small but well defined crystals of Cornetite from the Type locality with green Pseudomalachite. Two mineral species that are not as common in mineral collections.

Cornetite is a rare secondary mineral in some hydrothermal copper deposits.

Pseudomalachite is not Malachite but looks like it. The two are not related as Malachite is a carbonate and Pseudomalachite is a phosphate mineral.
