Brochantite - large crystals, ex. Urish Coll.

Item Description

A very rare example of crysatllized brochantite in large, robust, thick crystals exceeding 1 cm. Such specimens are old Bisbee classics from the mid and early 1900s, and seldom seen today. There are several styles, of which this is the best fo rmy taste because the crysatls are more individual and some other styles have them in solid masses, almost massive in fact. An important, historic Bisbee specimen, AND quite good for this species. valued $750-1250 (they go for more money in Arizona and at Tucson, I have seen). From the well known Tucson collection of 40-year collector, Harold Urish.
