A magnificent combination of very rare species from Bisbee!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of intense, deep blue
connellite crystals and minor claringbullite crystals embedded in massive cuprite, in association atacamite, chrysocolla, and
other related species!!! The connellite is much more crystalline than the pics show - upon close inspection one can
see numerous lathes of crystals and there are other isolated crystals scattered throughout the cuprite as well!!! Additionally, upon
close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see a few scattered platy crystals of blue-green claringbullite present as well (it
was difficult to capture them in the pics, however they are more significant in person)!!! This is RARE and highly sought after
material from Bisbee!!! Way better than the pics show (there is much more to see upon close inspection)!!! You do
not want to miss out on this valuable rarity!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!

***PLEASE NOTE: We are located in coastal New Jersey and our area has been decimated by HURRICANE SANDY. While Mandy and I are safe and did not suffer any damage, the local area is in very bad shape. The National Guard is here and there has been an overwhelming influx of help and support from all over. We have been lucky enough to have our power restored but there is a critical lack of resources throughout the area. As a result, we may experience some shipping delays and encounter other logistical issues. We thank you most sincerely for your kind wishes and patience during this time. We will continue to offer specimens from the Nikischer collection, as well as other recent acquisitions, during this time however - so don't miss out!!!
