Lustrous, emerald-green, primary malachite lathes cover the large, sculptural vug in lustrous, tan, rhombic calcite. This is a very rare Arizona old-time specimen, from the much less well-known Piedmont Mine, which operated from only 1936-1940. Hidden on the side is a secondary vug coated with small, second-generation, flesh-colored calcite rhombs. An interesting addition to this rare Arizona combination specimen.
