Item Description

Two-toned botryoidal azurite totally covers this outstanding old-time, sculptural large crust from the Holbrook Mine at Bisbee. Most of the botryoids are a midnight-blue, typical for the locale. The 3-dimensional form of this very vuggy piece is noteworthy. There is some malachite on the back. This old mine started in 1889 and was swallowed up by the Holbrook extension of the Lavender Pit in 1969. The medium output Holbrook Mine is noted for fine botryoidal azurite specimens and are uncommon compared to other Bisbee mines. This exceptional old-timer probably dates to prior to World War I. See the 1981 Arizona III Special Issue on Bisbee, Vol. 12, No. 5. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection and acquired in 2003. It looks great without aid. Valued at $2500
