Any specific reason for asking?
The specimen I have from this mine looks much the same. On close inspection of my specimen it is apparent the cornetite is a layer over malachite mineralization.

Hello Robert,
Excuse me, I'm sorry because my memory has faltered. This type of specimen is so rare that I had forgotten its existence. In fact, I don't look at my old photos enough.
Cornetite was only found in the Etoile Mine, which had been abandoned for a very long time.
Rather rare, its crystals are typically arranged in rosettes, with scattered single crystals.
Here is a small set of cornetite specimens.

Yes. This is what I see in Mindat & in specimens personally viewed. The thin coating seems quite common form.
Ta,
Bob
