The "dust" on the Azurite crystal is in fact the reflection of the floodlight on the Malachite under the surface of the Azurite. So the replacement was in progress.

Beautiful and interesting actinolite with a very appropriate nickname...
I also like to give nicknames to the specimens that excite my imagination.
Greetings from Tuscany.

Blue Scorodite. Ex-collection of Pierre Rondelez, who collected this piece in 1982, which was - as he said - his best Scorodite find in more than 100 visits to the Clara Mine. A fragment of this find was for a long time displayed in the mineral museum of Oberwolfach.
The second photo is a close-up of the same piece.
