Reversible Bucket Hat: Malachite Crystals and Azurite Botryoids, Queen Copper Mine, Bisbee, Arizona, USA, EX Yale, Circa 1900, Original Color
This reversible bucket hat is a unique and stylish accessory that features two different patterns of natural minerals. On one side, you can admire the vibrant green malachite crystals that form in clusters of fibrous or stalactitic shapes. Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral that is often associated with azurite, another copper mineral with a deep blue color. On the other side, you can marvel at the azurite botryoids that resemble grapes or bubbles. Botryoids are spherical or hemispherical aggregates of crystals that grow on a surface. Azurite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral that often forms in oxidized zones of copper deposits.
Both malachite and azurite are highly sought-after by collectors and jewelers for their striking colors and patterns. They are also considered to have metaphysical properties such as healing, protection, and intuition. The minerals on this hat come from the Queen Copper Mine in Bisbee, Arizona, USA, which was one of the most productive copper mines in the world from 1877 to 1975. The mine produced over 8 billion pounds of copper, as well as gold, silver, lead, zinc, and turquoise. The hat also has a historical significance as it belonged to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. The museum was founded in 1866 and has one of the largest and oldest collections of natural history specimens in the world. The hat dates back to circa 1900 and has retained its original color and condition. ```
