Calcite specimens of all sorts of shapes and varieties were saved by miners from the early days at Bisbee, even as they had no commercial value at the time because the miners recognized their beauty. This is an-other-worldly-looking and unique, cave flowstone formation. The outer walls on the flowstone levels look like multi-leveled ramparts to a very strong fortress. Old-time, fine cabinet material from the Dennis Mullane Collection.
