This is another combination specimen. A thin crust of yellowish to rusty colored copiapite shares the matrix with lavender coquimbite crystals. The copiapites are too small to effectively study with a loupe; however the coquimbites are much larger, reaching 0.5" (1.3cm) across. There is only minor damage to this specimen.
