Item Description

An outstanding, old-time combination specimen from the famous mines at Bisbee. Incredibly scintillating rosettes of gemmy "electric-blue" azurite blades are beautifully acccented by the numerous nearby, amazingly isolated, sharp, primary malachite crystals to over 1 mm on the starkly contrasting brown, bubbly oxide crust. The color, luster and sparkle of the azurite must be seen, to be believed. A tiny bit of bruising to the azurite field is noted, but certainly has minimal impact to the overal fine quality of this exquisite combination piece. Ex Russel MacFall Collection. The former dealer label has a $250 price tag. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
