The striking, concentric bulls eyes are followed by an outer layer of gemmy and lustrous, sea-green, acicular, hemimorphite blades. Facinating and very uncommon material from this noted Arizona locale. Primary ore production was in the late 1800s, with intermittent production in the 1920 and 30s. this is RARE material, hard to value
