The miners of Bisbee were allowed to retain some of the most aesthetic and interesting specimens to come out of the mines in old days.
As a result, we still see some of these helictitic clusters of calcite with a very faint green color caused by inclusion of malachite.
An old time classic, beautiful Bisbee specimen.
