Inspiration Mine floral Malachite Silica has amazing green patterns of Malachite formed within beautiful clear silica.
This beautiful green material comes from the famous Inspiration Mine located 6 miles northwest of Globe.
Inspiration Mining Co. was established in 1908 although mining first began under the Black Warrior Copper Company in 1896.
At one time, the Inspiration Mine produced almost 4% of the nation’s copper.
Freeport-McMoran Inc. now owns the property, which is now called the Miami Mine.
