Description:This specimen was collected in 2008. It hails from one of the most exciting Bolivian locality of the last 10 years. It hosts an attractive, sharp, tabular, metallic, lustrous, silvery-grey color, crystal group with good form and sharp faces that is aesthetically flaring off Pyrite matrix. For the quality and overall visual beauty, these new specimens have created a lot of excitement, so much so that one of the best pieces was featured on the cover of the March/April 2009 Issue of the Mineralogical Record ! This specimen is from the same mine and is a great smaller Bournonite from any locality, not just Machacamarca. Valued at $550.
