A superb, old-time, azurite and malachite specimen from Bisbee. Banded azurite and malachite beautifully frame large botryoids of azurite and malachite. The color contrasts are superlative and the central azurite botryoid is indeed, striking. Hidden to the left of the azurite botryoid is a vug lined with tiny, "electric-blue" and royal-blue azurite blades. Even the back is very noteworthy, with the banded malachite "eyes." Classic Bisbee material from the Dennis Mullane Bisbee Collection.
