A fine, old-time, combination specimen from the Old Dominion Mine at Globe, Arizona. The wall of a very well-placed matrix vug is covered with glassy, complex, calcite rhombs, which are beautifully complimented by a multitude of tiny tufts of sparkling, emerald-green, primary malachite needles and by crusts of powder-blue chrysocolla. An attractive combination piece from this historic Arizona locale, probably dating to the 1950s or earlier.
