Azurite from Czar Mine, Copper Queen Mine, Arizona, USA

Azurite rosettes to 1.3 cm on malachite from the 200' level of the Czar Mine at Bisbee, Arizona. Although noted in Arizona VI of the Mineralogical Record as a former Ben Williams piece, I received visual confirmation from Bill Larson that it was not part of the historic Williams lot he obtained.
