Conicalcite Massive with a beautiful green color.
For years it has been confused with Malachite, apparently they are similar but the former is a Carbonate and Conicalcite is an Arsenate.
It is a mineral typical of copper-bearing areas rich in arsenic and other metals, being a secondary copper ore that is not usually exploited, it is a rare mineral that is used for collecting.
The piece you receive may differ slightly from the photo shown, since the minerals are natural and no pieces are identical. The size is approximate.
