Could you repeat your experiment using this recipe?

The next thing we need to find out is whether the malachite is older or younger than the hoganite. If older, it could be that there was once more malachite and it has been partly etched away by acetic acid. If younger, it's possible that the malachite is a product of alteration of hoganite. Close up photos of the contact between the two species might help. Even if perhaps the hoganite was really the product of reaction with natural wood-derived acetic acid in the mine, the association with malachite is still problematic and needs some explaining.

Thanks, Manuel - beautiful photo. Meanwhile, Cesar has explained that acetates and carbonates commonly coexist with each other, so I no longer see a problem with this.
