This old Bisbee specimen features botryoidal clusters of malachite, many of which have pretty velvety surfaces caused by thousands of tiny acicular crystals that grew out of the surface. The malachite sits on a contrasting matrix of limonite. Bisbee specimens have become quite hard to obtain! 8.6 x 6.6 x 4.7cm
