This is a superb little miniature from Bisbee. 9 or 10 super sharp and lustrous blades of Azurite projecting up from an ironstone matrix that is coated with small tufts of Malachite. Good terminations and that deep azure blue colouration. Very hard to do it justice in the photos.

This is an extremely rare combo specimen. The only other one I've seen can be seen here:

An exceptional example of Berg Aukas Descloisite. A solid mass of orange brown blades showing great lustre and definition. Because the piece is mass of vugs, the crystals have been well protected. One surface shows blackened crystals of a slightly different form.
