Item Description

Two large, lustrous Bournonite crystals intersect in a broad V-shape or "check mark" to form a twin-like arrangement along with two other smaller, companion crystals. The largest Bournonite is an impressive 4cm long x 1.9cm wide, nicely striated and doubly terminated! It does have a small ding at the top. The other crystal measures 2.6 x 1.8cm and is also doubly terminated! An incredibly handsome and impressive piece! Good Bournonites from here are becoming more difficult to obtain. This one is one of the early ones, from the 1990's! I bought and sold it twice since then, each time taking it back for the unique shape! Valued $1000-1500
