An old-time, showy, cabinet specimen of solid malachite from Bisbee. The two-toned green piece is crudely layered and banded and the very interesting vug at the top is a fine accent. Excellent material from the W. Simpson and Dennis Mullane Collections. Rich copper ore. Weighs just over 2 pounds or nearly a kilogram.
