    About this item(s):
    The ultimate Bisbee collectors piece. Ultra rare, large, calcite birds nest complete with calcite eggs. Museum grade. Very few of these specimens exist, and most that do exist are broken or have repairs. No damage or rrepairs! Once in a lifetime opportunity.
    Remarks:
    Fantastic specimen, with separated calcite eggs and newly forming structures still attached.
    The back of this specimen has been sealed with an Opticon-type sealer to prevent breakage. Without this sealer, these specimens will break quite easily.

    This is a no return item!

    Gemologist / Geologist Notes:
    Extraordinary specimen. These are no longer available as the Bisbee underground mines are long closed. Truly a priceless specimen.
    Condition Notes:
    As seen in pictures. Most specimens 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, old mounting glue, tags or mouthing material attached. 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 "semi-polished" rough or specimens.
    Images:
    All specimens are photographed with bright, natural sunlight at 5000K to 5500K and checked for correct color with a calibrated monitor. Specimens viewed in poor 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.
    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. Such work is done at your own risk.
    We buy copper mining-related minerals, collections and estates.
