Bournonite

Item Description

This specimen was collected in 2005. It hails from one of the most exciting Bolivian locality of the last 10 years. It hosts attractive, sharp, tabular, metallic, silvery-grey color crystals with good form and sharp faces which are sitting on Pyrite and micro grey Quartz matrix. For the quality, these 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 is a good representative Bournonite from any locality, not just Machacamarca. Valued at $450.
