Aragonite : CaCO₃
	Bisbee, Warren District, Mule Mts, Cochise Co., Arizona, USA 7.3 x 4.9 x 4.0 cm. This is an example of a rare phenomenon at Bisbee: mine timbers from the very old works that, over time, stalactitic, botryoidal aragonite formed on - which in turn got a pretty green color from copper staining. Once this was considered a cuprian aragonite variety called locally "brucksite." Ex. Mullane Collection.
