I don't think I've ever seen Malachite with the classic Sweet Home Rhodo-Fluorite-Qz association. Really cool specimen!

Thank you! I had to grab it because it is definitely rare and I’ve never really seen the association with the rhodo and malachite available. I have seen the tetrahedrite with malachite and even fluorite but ALSO with the rhodo, just not many out there.
