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).

Azurite, malachite and tenorite(?) have formed botryoidal layers on this specimen. These can make stunning slabs of alternating blue and green when formed in stalactites.
