All specimens of the mineral are green and range from a pastel green, to a bright green, to an extremely dark green that is almost black. It is typically found as stalactites and botryoidal coatings on the surfaces of underground cavities . When these materials are cut into slabs and pieces, the cut surfaces often exhibit beautiful banding and eyes.
