Item Description
Sharp, sparkly, tetragonal, wine-red cuprite microcrystals richly invest all sides of the very vuggy, sturdy gossan matrix on this showy and very rich copper ore specimen from the famous Czar Shaft at Bisbee. This note mine closed in 1944, so this is obviously old-time material from this famous locale. Ex O.D. Brown and Dennis Mullane Collections.
