Calcite with Malachite (classic material)

Item Description

Here we have a lovely association specimen from the classic Cole Mine (Cole Shaft) in Bisbee. The piece features sharp, lustrous, "dog tooth" habit, pale yellow color, gemmy crystals of Calcite measuring up to 1.6 cm associated with green Malachite. A few minor blemishes to a couple Calcite crystals keeps the piece from being 100% perfect, but they are notably sharp and gemmy for the material. Pieces like this from Bisbee are hand to find these days on the market, and considering that the locality hasn't produced anything in many decades, they will only become more desirable for collectors.
