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 mix of dark blue botryoidal azurite and sparkling drusy azurite on the same specimen. The enclosed old label stating “Copper Queen” fell off the specimen during washing.
