Cuprite, Azurite & Malachite on Copper (Mullane Coll.)

Item Description

A very showy, uncommon older specimen from the famous mines at Bisbee and the Dennis Mullane Collection. The scuptural matrix is essentially massive copper with a bit of gossan. The nifty vug holds a field of oxidized cuprite crystals below gorgeous, sharp azurite crystals with stunning, "electric-blue" gemminess and malachite pseudomorphs after sharp azurite crystals. An isolated, striking, 9 mm, "electric-blue" azurite crystal, primary malachite and more vugs of oxidized cuprite crystals are noted on other faces. Extremely rich combination copper ore from this historic locale. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
