Item Description

Bournonite specimens from the famous mines at Neudorf are relatively rare when compared to the renowned, world-class Galena and Siderite combinations (themselves in very short supply) from there. This dense cluster is composed of sharp, splendent, metallic-grey Bournonites that are mostly in the 3-4 mm range. The cluster resides nicely on a layer of finely crystalline Quartz, and the piece is actually more attractive in person. #7307 in Kay's collection, she acquired this in 1974 from Lidstrom's.
