Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Azurite, Copper
Locality: near Georgetown, Grant County, New Mexico
Size: miniature, 3.2 x 2.4 x 2.2 cm
Copper ps. Azurite (ex BMNH)
Many of these fine pseudos were collected by George English and A.E. Foote in the 1890's and were sold to Eastern collectors and also to European collectors.�Note the old label, showing how they compared these to the azurite roses, or "chessylite", more common from France at the time. Today, us Americans are trying to find them and buy them back, by and large! They are from the Rose or Copper Rose mine which is east of the Chino�mine. This is a classic New Mexico locality. It isn�t hard to see that with a little cleaning (hard to imagine it wasn�t done before!) this will turn into a prettier specimen with an important provenance. However, given the old history with it, I haven't done the cleaning as I like the old-old look of the set. The blades of copper are amazingly sharp, and their appearance is diminished by the clay attached. In person, its more obvious how sharp they are underneath. NOTE - NOT A THUMBNAIL!
