No. Mal 90 Bs
MALACHITE pseudomorph after Azurite on matrix
-
$1,200
A fine, sharp, highly aesthetic crystal group on matrix. A
great old piece from this classic, well-known, U. S.
locality.
This paragraph is from Vol 12, No. 5 of the
Mineralogical Record which is the "Bisbee
Issue"
"Campbell shaft, Regular claim, 3,332 feet in depth,
sinking started in 1927. Developed by the Calumet and
Arizona Mining Company, it was named for Gordon R.
Campbell, an early investor in the company. The
original purpose of this shaft was to serve as a
ventilation opening in the mining of the ores, east of the
Junction shaft. This all changed when in 1929 the
magnificent Campbell orebody was discovered; it was
the largest mass of ore ever found in the district,
containing well over a million tons. Stretching from
above the 1600' level to below the 2200' level, this
orebody helped make the Campbell the most
productive mine in the district. Also, this is the only
mine that operated without interruption. The deepest
mine in Bisbee, it produced vast amounts of lead and
zinc, in addition to copper."
Locality: Campbell shaft, Bisbee, Cochise County,
Arizona
Specimen Size: 4.3 x 4 x 2 cm. (Largest Crystal: 3 cm.
