Item Description
Bournonite specimens from this famous locale have become a Chinese classic and this is a striking and excellent thumbnail example. The sharp, lustrous, metallic-gray thumbnail crystal looks like an arrowhead! One edge of the two-sided crystal has classic cogwheels with the other being highly striated and brilliantly lustrous. The attachment is at the base. Choice material valued by the former dealer at $695.
