A striking and classic, cave calcite specimen from the Southwest Mine at Bisbee. This complete all-around piece is a dense "forest" of lustrous, translucent, pastel-green, arborescent calcite scalenohedrons. The green tinting is due malachite. Ex. Stoudt Collection. The previous dealer label states that the piece was collected in the mid-1940s.
