Malachite with Calcite Bisbee, Warren District, Mule Mts, Cochise Co., Arizona 11.62cm x 8.5cm x 3.36cm Ex. John Gerry Collection Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum #JG31

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic, old time example of malachite from Bisbee!!! This specimen consists of a broad, showy plate of finely bladed malachite crystals in association with a partial coating of calcite crystals!!! This specimen is quite unique for a number of reasons!!! The malachite crystals appear to be pseudomorphs after azurite crystals!!! Many of the crystals are quite thin, and some of the crystals are so thin that they actually show significant clarity!!! There are also a few areas where more characteristic botryoidal malachite can be seen through the crystals!!! There is a significant area of of malachite crystals that has an attractive, snowy white coating of crystalline calcite!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that areas of the calcite is slightly translucent and lustrous!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and came from the John Gerry Collection!!! This specimen retains an affixed Seaman Museum catalogue number as well!!! Unique, old time material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
