That certainly is a good question, Mitch.
It would be nice to find, and record, such a new mineral from NC. But, like in so many cases, I don't see how one could say for sure without a good analysis being done. Especially since Szenicsite and Markascherite are so similar. And other possibilities like Obradovicite.
One problem I see is even tho there is the named Copper Hill district in Haywood County, I don't find any record of copper in that county?
Lots of mica deposits, which is good for the gemstones, but no copper.
I'm wondering if you were in the vicinity of the Redmond Mine lead deposit?
Anyway, I'm not going to be any help with identification of your specimen, but good find and I hope you can find out something definite.
Nice dang area of the state to be hunting in!

That's a good question too, dan.
I had never heard of Szenicsite before so had to look it up.
I'm not sure why Mitch was looking at such a rare mineral possibility but am assuming the crystals have some what of a blade-like formation.
According to Mindat, Szenicsite was found in a very isolated context and became a named mineral in 1993. It is a Dimorph of Markascherite which didn't become a named mineral until 2010. They both have the same chemical composition, CU3MoO4(OH)4.
So I was thinking some testing would be necessary to tell them apart, but I'm just guessing about that.
I'm assuming Mitch knows about Torbernite and has already eliminated that as a possibility. Very radioactive stuff and should be handled with caution and care. And I do not see it as being found in Haywood County.
So that leaves the mineralization of the Redmond Mine area where Malachite has been found as the most likely possibility.
There it is, final guess, possibly some fibrous form of Malachite.
Thanks for asking, Dan, and thanks for posting the specimen Mitch.

Very colorful and a pretty specimen whatever it is, thanks for sharing with us. I happen to have been born in Haywood, Waynesville in fact and we moved to McDowell at age 5.
