I decided to leave the broken edge in the frame for interest..

Very nice.
Google states, that Chrysocolla looks :

So, what is that white stuff ?
I'm not familiar with minerals ...

Thanks all..lighting is a constant challenge for me at least. Some colorful, ultra-reflective minerals seem to defy all attempts to get a good stack. Diffusion has it's limitations. I may need to test using polarizers as Lou Jost has nicely described.
Sorry, no locality information about this specimen.

Beautiful image Geopressure! The light blue material could be Chrysocolla or Hemimorphite, appears to have a light coating of drusy quartz over it.
I have the same struggles as you with reflections, and have had some success with using reflected, diffused light instead of direct diffused. Curious to learn more about polarization techniques and would appreciate if you could share any pointers.
