Item Description

Tightly intergrown rosettes of lustrous, translucent, pretty mint-green, cuprian (copper-colored) calcite rhombs form a dramatic, 3-dimensional and sculptural large specimen from the famous mines at Bisbee. Green calcites of this varietal, size and quality are not that common from here and this is a really good one, with only trivial bruising and periphery wear. Classic and excellent Bisbee from the Bob Trimingham Collection.
