Bournonite (new find)

Item Description

This specimen was collected very recently (within the last few months). It hails from one of the most exciting Bolivian locality of the last 10 years. It hosts an attractive, sharp, tabular, metallic, lustrous, silvery-grey color, crystal with good form and sharp faces. There are some small secondary crystals on the face of the main crystal for an added touch. For the quality, these new 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.
