Item Description

Intergrown, splendent, silvery-metallic, well-striated bournonite crystals to 1.9 cm form a showy and excellent specimen from recent finds at the famous Yaogangxian Mine of China. A 1.0 cm, doubly terminated tabular quartz crystal is a super accent. Three are even tiny golden pyrites and pink fluorites on this piece! A very highly representative and uncommon combination miniature of these desirable species, that will cost you a fraction of the classic, old bournonites from the Herodsfoot Mine of England.
