Item Description

A classic and fine quality example of the famous Bisbee "roses". This piece is filled with excellent, broad, sharp, lustrous, rich royal-blue Azurite blades forming a fantastic and very good sized "rose" group, free of matrix. The piece is nearly a "floater", but I can see some points of attachment on the back. Bisbee "roses" are the finest of their kind from Arizona - arguably the best in the world - and exceedingly desirable on the market today. This elegant, old-time specimen is a wonderful and very worthwhile piece for any collector of Arizona minerals, copper species or secondary ore mineral. Overall the piece is what I would call mostly damage free, but there are a few small contacts. Valued $1,500. Ex Brian Kosnar specimen, with an old label from the collection of Neil A. Wintringham of Mountainside, New Jersey.
