Azurite and Malachite, polished slab with natural back

Item Description

From the personal collection of late dealer Ron Bentley, this is a spectacular example of classic BISBEE BLUE as they used to call it a really rich layered azurite that is of top carving grade, rife with intricate natural patterns. The pics convey the quality, almost. It is so bright, it is almost electric. For anybody who values having a Bisbee suite, or a historic US Suite, this is a great accent piece. The back of the nodule is left natural, and is not cut and polished. Valued quite highly, as this is TOP carving grade material and dates from the early 1900s era of richness here, probably around $2500-3000
