An impressive, very rich, old-time Bisbee specimen of solid, lustrous, forest-green laths of brochantite. Seldom will you see Bisbee brochantite this massive and with such a showy display character. Most were long since broken up into smaller pieces, at the time found. This is a fairly significant piece, and for the size a good example of the find. Ex. Dave Stoudt Collection.
