Pale green cuprian Aragonite stalactite formation from Bisbee. I have seen others that are a single twisting stalactite, but this one is a whole mass of curving, interwoven Aragonite, highly interesting. The surface is mostly smooth but some areas show Aragonite crystals growing out from the edges. This specimen dates back to 1870 where is was held in collection by the Warren County School District in Pennsylvania, and still has their sticker attached to the bottom.
