Calcite

Famous, but oh so rare. Calcite helictites were discovered at Southwest mine, Hendricks Gulch in the early 1970s and are now considered Bisbee classics. They formed in a cave ceiling within the mine workings between Higgins mine and Southwest mine. This cabinet-sized greenish, copper-included Calcite helictite comes from Dick Morris' Arizona collection and is not only on the larger size for what we have seen available in recent times, but is sculptural too, forming a serpent-like rising growth.
