I picked up some material from the giveaway tables at the recent PMA Symposium in Redlands, California attributed to "near Morenci, Greenlee Co., Arizona". The minerals to look for were libethenite and pseudomalachite. I took the following three images (2-4 mm FOV) that appear to show both minerals, at least visually. Mindat has one location in Greenlee Co. with libethenite:
http://www.mindat.org/loc-28654.html
And, no locations with pseudomalachite. Also, no photos of either mineral. Is anyone out there familiar with the material? Perhaps someone who also attended or organized the PMA Symposium can chime in and provide more information about the locality, more than "near Morenci".
Thanks!

I expect that this rock in the road fill must have come from one of the many pre-open pit mines in the Morenci area, but have no idea which one. One would need to have a lot better knowledge of the mining and highway building history of the area than I do to even make a guess. That is why the location only reads "Morenci".

"Steve,
I finally got a chance to run the Raman spectra of the green balls from Morenci. I ran both the larger dark green, almost black, balls and the smaller apple green balls. They are both pseudomalachite as we thought, so I think you can now confidently post your pictures.
Robert Housley"
I'll post some images to Mindat.
