Bournonite and Fluorite on Quartz

Item Description

A very fine and showy combination plate from the famous Yaogangxian Mine. A 2.5, lustrous, tabular, metallic-gray, bournonite crystal with a pronounced groove is aesthetically set upright in a forest of water-clear quartz points. Water-clear, gorgeous, ice-blue, fluorite cubes to 2.0 finish out this striking and excellent piece. The clarity of the fluorites is similar to the famous "invisible" fluorites from Dalnegorsk. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON, as the clarity of the fluorites was difficult to capture with the camera. Combination bournonite and fluorite specimens of this quality are very uncommon from this well-known locale. Valued at $800-1200
