Finely filigreed native copper, a very choice specimen from this important and historic locale. Although Bisbee is one of the world's largest copper mines, actual native copper specimens are hard to get from there, and do not occur as often as you would expect in the mines. From the well-known Tucson collection of 40-year collector, Harold Urish.
