Salida, CO Elks Lodge Collection
The Elks Club in Salida, Colorado housed a display of several diverse mineral suites from Leadville, Bisbee, the Tri-State district and others, many with historic labels affixed to the specimens. The club decided to dispose of the collection, and we bought it this spring (2014).
A beautiful polished end-cut of malachite and azurite from Bisbee. The polished surface highlights the fibrous nature of the malachite spheres. Another Bisbee classic.
