Velvet Malachite (old) ex Mullane Coll.

Item Description

Old-time Bisbee malachite specimens are always in demand and this is an impressive large example from the Dennis Mullane Bisbee Collection. A striking and sculptural deep vug in sturdy gossan matrix is lined with lustrous, multi-hued, bubbly botryoids. The three holes to the backside in the vug really add character. The vug itself, is in great condition. Malachite of this size and quality probably dates to prior to World War I. Classic Bisbee material ex Mullane collection
