Many thanks for entering the discussion! I will be very interested to know more about your specimens, especially the pseudomorphs!
Moreover, a publication is needed (a tough and long work), and contributing specimens could be very welcome!
Looking forward hearing from you!
All the best, Valère, Belgium

A little surprise this year at the Munich show (although a bit on the side of the question): a pseudomorph (complete replacement) of malachite after cuprite with matrix, Tantara RDC, with matrix, the crystal is about "2.5"cm. The only such a piece I have ever seen
