Item Description
The famous Czar Mine at Bisbee produced from 1885 to 1944 and "yielded more fine mineral specimens than any other in the camp" (Mineralogical Record Bisbee issue, September-October, 1981). This rich copper ore combination specimen of solid cuprite is covered on both sides with eye-visible embedded microxls of blue connellite and primary malachite crystals in a pocket. Connellite is an uncommon copper halide and this is a fine reference specimen. Comes with an older Wards label.
