Another old-timer from the great Bisbee mining district. There is a vug on either side of this specimen, one with sparkling rosettes of deep blue azurite on a field of malachite, and the other with the botryoidal malachite more prominent. There is very little limonitic matrix here; this specimen is almost all azurite and malachite. Ex. Dave Stoudt Collection.
