New Mexico Mineral Symposium — Abstracts

Bisbee, Arizona is truly the classic North American mineral locality. During the near century of its operation,- literally hundreds of thousands of fine specimens were produced and preserved.

From a relatively simple geologic environment, an impressive array of over 200 distinct species, including 6 new ones were produced. This is intended to be a broad overview of the history, geology and the more notable species that have combined to make the name "Bisbee" synonymous with fine minerals.
