Summary

Description
English: Malachite, Quartz, Chrysocolla
Locality: Globe, Globe Hills, Globe Hills District, Globe-Miami District, Gila County, Arizona, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 8.0 x 4.8 x 2.6 cm.
A gorgeous specimen with an antique Ward's Science Establishment label dating it to pre-WWI in the early 1900s. Ward's was an active buyer at the time, but an even older (unidentified, calligraphy) label glued to the back indicates this may date to the earliest days of copper camp mining in Arizona. However, the pedigree aside, it’s just an incredible specimen with eye appeal due to the startling contrast of the (8mm) primary malachite crystals to the blue quartz underneath. It was, in Hauck's collection, a stunning blue quartz representative...but it’s more than a mere quartz in my book!
