I particularly like the branching or dendritic appearance of this specimen. But make no mistake about it, this piece is composed of individual crystals, to .6 cm across. It has bright metallic luster along with its outstanding form. Chuck Youngblood owned a rock and jewelry shop in Bisbee for decades and sold his personal Bisbee collection to the Stoudts some years ago, 1998.
