The specimen has a shallow flat shelf of matrix material which is covered on both sides with zincolibethenite in a green blue turquoise colour. In association there are small semi circular stacks of deep green herbertsmithsonite covered in pristine crystals of water clear gypsum which also covered the zincolibethenite. Lastly pseudomalachite in the forms of small needle bushes covers half of one side. The Skorpion Zinc Mine closed at the end of 2019.
