Item Description

A showy and attractive specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, metallic "cogwheels" of gun-metal colored Bournonite on matrix. Good quality for the material. Specimens such as this are not common on the market, and this is certainly from an older discovery, circa late 1970s or early 1980s. The largest "cogwheel" measures 7 mm across.
