Description

The specimen is a quartz breccia that has been cemented by what looks like hetaerolite as well as zincolibethenite. The zoncolibethenite colour is turquoise which is eye catching and covered by the quartz drusy adds a lovely glitter to the specimen. There also seems to be pseudomalachite botryoids under the quartz drusy too. The Skorpion Zinc Mine closed at the end of 2019.
