Malachite: Bisbee, Warren District, Cochise County, Arizona USA

Description

Species: Malachite

Locality: Bisbee, Warren District, Cochise County, Arizona USA

Dimensions: 12 x 11 x 2.5 cm.

This is a beautiful, vibrant forest-green, chatoyant malachite specimen from Arizona’s iconic Bisbee District. Large cabinet-size Bisbee malachite specimens like this are not common on the market these days, and this is a showy, aesthetic example. A fine American mineral classic in great condition. The chatoyance is better in person, and the specimen has a nice 3-dimensionality as well. Annette Slade photo. Classic!
