Malachite from (labeled as Olivenite on old French label), Cornwall, England

DESCRIPTION:No. 43146
Mineral:Malachite
Locality:(labeled as Olivenite on old French label), Cornwall, England
Description:Cuprite-rich matrix with several cavities lined with translucent green microcrystals that I believe are malachite based on color. The old labels indicate this is olivenite, but I have priced it as malachite - a bargain if it truly is olivenite.
