Author Description

Bisbee has produced tens of thousands of beautiful mineral specimens prized by collectors and institutions. Although, the mines are best remembered for producing rich glassy blue azurite, and velvety green malachite over 330 different mineral species have been identified from the mines. Bisbee is one of the most mineralogically diverse locations on Earth. Volume 2 is the descriptive mineralogy in which brief descriptions of the forms and locations in which these 330 minerals have been discovered at Bisbee. Note, this is not an illustrated edition, but rather a traditional descriptive mineralogy. This book is intended to complement volume I.
