Item Description

A wonderful association specimen from one of the most classic localities in the United States. This piece features an excellent quality, highly lustrous, prismatic "sprays" of deep green Malachite associated with a deep red Cuprite on gossan matrix. Good quality and certainly hard to find on the market. This is old time material and certainly in demand for collectors, especially Arizona collectors. From the collection of John Taylor (not the British mining engineer).
