Item Description
A rarely seen association specimen from the famous Holbrook Mine inside the Copper Queen Mine at Bisbee featuring a few sulfide species. A combination of iridescent Bornite and Covellite can be seen on all sides of the specimen, which range from reddish-auburn hues to purple and blue, and associated with pale golden Pyrite mixed in here and there. I've literally only seen one other piece of this material, and if you collect sulfides or minerals of Arizona/Bisbee, this is a must-have piece because you may never see another like it again. From the collection of Bill Wilson.
