Description: Thank you for visiting! Bisbee Minerals®Fine minerals and mining artifacts from Bisbee and around the world Please mark us as a favorite seller to receive instant listing notifications! Genuine, trusted Arizona seller for over 30 years! About this item(s): See the video! It's exceptionally difficult to find dazzling Bisbee azurite specimens of this caliber for sale at all, but when it includes provenance from a well known collector, it's rare. This fine cabinet display specimen is from the Otis Mason Estate in Bisbee, Arizona. It will be supplied with a specimen card. Very heavy specimen for it's size. Experienced jewelry makers or lapidary experts will note some very high-ended cabbing or polishing possibilities, although not suggested due to rare specimen nature. Likely from the Czar shaft at the Copper Queen mine complex. This is not a small "thumbnail" size as is often the case with Bisbee specimens, but rather, a nice 96g specimen. I will be listing several specimens from this collection. This is a rare chance to own a piece of history from one the world's most famous azurite producing mines. Size: About 60mm x 44m x 27mm at the longest, widest and thickest measurements - varying. Weight: About 96g. Location of discovery: Bisbee, AZ. Terms Returns: Items not returnable unless noted. Altered items (cut, damaged, drilled, polished, etc.), are not available for return, exchange or refund. Items damaged in transit can be returned. See shipping and return notes below. Condition Notes: As seen in pictures. Most specimens are not professionally cleaned so dirt may be present. Some specimens may be stabilized without our knowledge, as some processes are very hard to detect. Some specimens may have odors from long-term storage or natural sources. Old mounting glue, residue, tags or mouthing material may be present. Some specimens may not sit upright as seen in pictures and may require a stand or other propping device. Saw marks may be present on any rough, cabochons, slabs or specimens. Some cabochons may appear smooth in pictures but may have small vugs, natural fractures, edge chipping or other imperfections. Slab and Lapidary Warranty: Al slabs or lapidary rough can have unforeseen weaknesses including hidden cracks and soft / weak areas. There is no way to test slabs without attempting to break them with applied pressure. We strongly suggest stabilizing or backing any slabs that could potentially break during any lapidary work. There are no refunds in the event of breakage due to handing or lapidary work after you receive the slab. The buyer accepts there are risks in lapidary and gemstone work regarding the interior matrix, and such matrix may not yield desired results. Therefore, there are no refunds for lapidary rough based on inferior or unexpected interior content. Specimen and Lapidary Hazards: Many rocks and minerals (specimens) contain potentially hazardous or allergenic compounds, some known or unknown. Some specimens (as noted) may be coated with polyurethane to provide a wet look. Always wash hands after handling raw specimens. Specimens should never be applied to skin or ingested. Lapidary work should always be preformed with safety equipment including inhalation and skin contact considerations. Specimens should not be used in aquariums or terrariums without establishing safety first. Do not allow children to handle specimens. Buyer assumes all responsibility for the safe handling of specimens. Images: All specimens are photographed with bright, natural sunlight or artificial daylight at 5000K to 5500K to show accurate colors and details. Specimens viewed in poor / indoor lighting or non-daylight illumination sources may not appear as in the photographs. Some specimens (as noted in the description) may be seen wet or damp to show lapidary potential. In such instances, received item(s) may appear duller until professionally polished. Items used for backgrounds, props and measurements such as rulers, coins, etc., are not included unless otherwise noted in the description. Warranty: We do our best to accurately describe our mineral specimens or rough. However, as it is with most minerals, it's impossible to determine the exact interior structure or content, so we cannot warranty or refund specimens or rough used for lapidary work or excessive handling. Some items may break or chip during transit due to unknown micro-cracks. These items may be returned for a refund. Porch Pirating and Non-Delivery Addresses: USPS insurance only covers delivery to your address. Insurance does not cover packages after delivery, including packages stolen from doorsteps or mailboxes. The seller cannot reimburse, refund or replace stolen items. Please actively track valuable packages and be present for delivery. Buyer is responsible for listing correct delivery address. Addresses cannot be changed once an item is shipped.

This may include: forwarding pictures of the damaged item(s), packing and shipping container in order to process a claim. Buyer must also provide any information or confirmation requested by the USPS or other shipping service. Packing: Large lots of rocks are generally shipped together in a tightly wrapped plastic bag.
