Item Description
This is a lovely small cabinet specimen from the Bisbee area featuring fibrous "sprays" of emerald green Brochantite sitting on iron-stained matrix. I had fun looking at this one with a loupe, as it is beautiful under magnification. It should be noted that specimens of Brochantite from Bisbee are not easy to find on the market today.
From the collection of Chester ("Chet") S. Lemanski Jr. of Browns Mills, New Jersey (https://www.mindat.org/user-461.html). Collection #8309CL. Chet was born 1947 in started collecting minerals circa 1957. He worked briefly as a drill runner at the famous Sterling Mine, in Ogdensburg, New Jersey and from 1987 to 1990 he helped convert the mine into a public access mining museum. He has held the role of treasurer, vice president and president of the Franklin-Ogdensburg Mineralogical Society (FOMS), and has been a board member and vice president of the Franklin Mineral Museum. The rare copper arsenate, Lemanskiite was named in his honor in 1999.
