Azurite with Malachite after Cuprite
specimen number:
3871074
location:
Copper Queen mine, Bisbee, Cochise Co., Arizona, USA
description:
Classic old time Bisbee specimen with lustrous bladed crystals of azurite throughout all sides of this matrix. Small crystals of octahedral cuprite replaced by green malachite are scattered throughout very typical of this area. Micro-chipping minimal and very sparse, I think this in really good condition.
