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).

The pale blue to dark blue zoning on this end-cut polished azurite make a beautiful display piece. Some green malachite would of course make it better, but it’s still nice. The little vugs with are also a nice contrast.
