It has become just so difficult to get ANYTHING from Bisbee. This is the classic combination of azurite and malachite from this legendary locality. The surface is botryoidal in form, with a beautiful balance of green (malachite) and the intensely bright blue of the azurite. A specimen of this size and richness from Bisbee commands a LOT of attention these days!
