Item Description

Bisbee is one of the great historic copper-producing districts, not just in the US, but the world. The area is famous for its prolific amounts of fine quality Azurite and Malachite found at multiple mines. Not all of this material was "specimen grade", but those in the lapidary world quickly found that pieces that might not have been as desirable as specimens, were truly some of the best "gem grade" Azurite/Malachite ever found. This stone is an impressive, big, hefty cabochon featuring rich blue Azurite, with complimenting green Malachite, and wonderful areas of sky blue Chrysocolla. The combination of Azurite with Malachite is about as classic as it gets for Bisbee, and the added touch of Chrysocolla makes the stone all the more desirable. A fantastic big stone of this important historic material.
This stone came to us from Bill Larson's personal Bisbee suite, and this is a great opportunity to pick up a fine, classic gem from this important U.S. locality.
