[QUOTE="SWright, post: 307837, member: 1541"] G'Day Matt It's a bit fuzzy to tell, but it looks like the crystals a made up of little needles and the very dark green colour suggests a copper mineral called Atacamite. There is another and a little rarer mineral called psuedomalachite. These minerals are more common than malachite in arid regions. You may have a new copper deposit on your hands there mate. You could take it into the geological survey and ask a geologist to have a closer look. Chees Araluen [/QUOTE]
