A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME specimen of malachite on and included in lustrous calcite crystals from the famous Copper Queen Mine at Bisbee. The major crystals are pristine and the back of the piece even has clear, uncontaminated calcite rhombs. A very CHOICE old-timer! Rare in such quality, with so much malachite inclusions. In fact, this is the most included of only a handful I have ever seen. 4.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 cm
