Item Description

A dramatic, large, tapered stalactite of beautiful, lustrous and translucent, mint-green, cuprian calcite is strikingly overgrown with cave helectites of sparkly, white calcite. The helectitic protruding "arms" and worm-like features are fabulous. Complete all-around, the tip and one arm are contacted, but the striking arm in the front is pristine. Exceptional, colorful and amazingly sculptural large material from a recent find at historic Bisbee. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $125, for free. Valued at $1000-1250 for size, quality and amazing form.
