The classic Bisbee locality turned out calcite specimens in a dizzying array of forms, and fortunately, they were preserved from early days by miners who admired their variety and beauty, and knew they had no ore value so they were allowed to keep them. Here is a cluster of stalactitic knobs topping fans of euhedral, sugary crystals.
