Mineral specimens of ANY species are RARE from this former surface and underground Cu-Mo-Ag-Au mine (produced 1929-1984). This thumbnail ball hosts stunning, gem, "electric-blue" azurite crystals with starkly contrasting very light green botryoids (malachite?). These tiny azurites compare in gemminess from any worldwide locality. Very rare material. A must for the Arizona or species collector.
