On a tiny bit of matrix material, crystals of deep azure-blue diaboleite grow to 0.2" (0.5cm). These crystals are intergrown with crystals of hydrocerussite. Some of the hydrocerussite crystals are stained dark brown by iron. One side of the specimen has been cleaved (both minerals). This is the only visible damage to this piece.
