Item Description

A classic, excellent, yet unusually formed cave calcite from the Holbrook Mine at Bisbee. The 360-degree crystal has the classic arborescent form of Bisbee cave calcites. But, the numerous parallel-growth frond-like terminations have a striking sharp chisel form. Pristine, except for basal periphery wear. Choice and rare style Bisbee calcite from the Jean Hamel and Jaime Bird Collections.
