Item Description
An old-time, unusual, and uncommon copper specimen from Bisbee. Seldom do you see solid, floater, crystallized Bisbee copper pieces with bubbly, botryoidal form and such a pretty patina. One side of hte piece has semi-arborescent crystallization and is almost completely botryoidal on the back. I have to believe that the reddish color is due to minor Cuprite. The piece probably dates back to around the 1950s.
