Item Description
Redondite is the rare iron-rich variety of variscite and is known, at Bisbee, from only a small find at the Cole Shaft. I had never actually seen one before from Bisbee. Sculptural green crusts are artistically set on the hefty matrix richly inpregnated with banded micro pyrite crystals. This is Old-time, seldom available material. A fine and rare Bisbee combination species for the locality collector.
