Azurite "rose" on Malachite
Azurite "roses" from Bisbee are widely famous, and have been desired since the time they started coming out in the early 1900s. Few were ever found on matrix. Here is a superb miniature with unusual aesthetics for these classic old-time Bisbee mineral combinations. This piece features very sharp, beautiful, deep blue azurite crystals upon contrasting malachite, in an aesthetic and 3-dimensional combination. It is likely from the early 1900s, and comes from the Kosnar Family Collection (Richard to Brian Kosnar). All on a classic Bisbee limonite matrix. The azurite "rose" is 2.5 cm tall. This is truly a competitive-quality miniature of an old USA classic, for which more will simply never be found.
