A sparkling cluster of intergrown, intensely green brochantite crystals from the classic Shattuck Mine finds, which produced briefly some of the finest Bisbee brochantites (1970s, I believe). This was obtained by Frank from a shaft miner who worked the mine at the time. Brochantite is a fairly rare crystallized species, and these robust crystals with metallic luster have always been considered desirable, and relatively inexpensive for the quallity for the species on a worldwide basis. As is typical for this find, the crystals are an intergrown mass and of course some are intact, and some are not. This is a fine large miniature, complete all around with coverage. Joe Budd Photos.
