An old-time, very showy, Bisbee cabinet specimen of chatoyant, two-toned, fibrous/acicular malachite richly coating the sculptural and sturdy gossan matrix. Fibrous/acicular malachite of this variety is not that common from the mines at Bisbee and specimens such as this date to the 1950s or 60s. Comes with an older Bourget Brothers label. Ex. Dennis Mullane Bisbee Collection.
