Item Description

Bornite is RARE from this now very famous Mexican locale, limited to a small find in 2015. A thin layer of bornite coats an impressive complex pyrite crystal, that is dramatically perched atop the starkly contrasting white dickite clay matrix. The bornite has been X-ray confirmed by M. Origlieri. A very fine thumbnail example of the species and find.
