A striking, classic example of azurite on malachite from this famous locale!!! This specimen consists of a
colorful cluster of lively green botryoidal malachite crystals in aesthetic association with sparkly clusters of
deep royal blue azurite crystals!!! The malachite is quite striking in person - with highly involved botryoidal
forms and sharply defined features!!! The malachite has characteristic lapidary quality and exhibits a marked luster in
numerous areas!!! The azurite crystals consist of
lustrous, sparkly rosettes with rich blue color and are way better than the pics show!!! There is also a band of
massive, botryoidal azurite intergrown with the malachite as well!!! This is gorgeous, high quality, old time Bisbee material and
is simply stunning in person!!! Very aesthetic, classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer

***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!!!
