Question about conichalcite associated crstal

[stdenis_jd]

So, considering the green being likely conichalcite, what would these pale blue crystals be in vugs in the same host rock?

It's probably Adamite. They are closely associated in Arsenic deposits.

Please handle with care. All arsenic compounds are poisonous.

Thanks Clay, those pics and description of adamite look exactly right. Will check with a loupe to confirm.

When we realized it was conichalcite instead of malachite, it was an immediate wash your hands and Don the gloves moment lol. Kinda one of those "oh crap" moments when cutting crocidolite and seeing a "poof" or tumbling a shiny gray rock around and finding it's Galena lol. Hoping I'm never unfortunate enough to stumble across unstable uranium in this life either
