05btjkir ((CALCITE with BROCHANTITE inclusions STALACTITE)) $35 MINIMUM BID, Southwest Mine, Bisbee, Arizona, 20 x 6 x 3 cm, Cabinet | |
Here is a Bisbee Calcite Stalactite with Brochantite inclustions causing a light green color collected in 2004. I bought a large lot of these at Tucson in 2005 from the collectors representative. I have been selling many on the auction and my supplies of the smaller ones which are easier to ship are getting sparce. A few dealers at the TGMS show had these and they were very pricey being from Arizona. No collecting has been allowed since. This one is a long, 20 cm, The end splits into two terminations with one tip missing. The greenish stalactite actually has a twist or screw pattern which has a special name that I do not currently recall. |
