Bournonite (new find)

Item Description

This specimen was collected in very recently (within the last few months). It hails from one of the most exciting Bolivian locality of the last 10 years. There are several attractive, sharp, tabular, metallic, silvery-grey color, crystals with great form and sharp faces which are associated with micro Pyrite and Quartz. Please note that one of the crystals has a repair. For the quality, 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 as that cover specimen.
