Bournonite (new find)

Item Description

This specimen was collected in very recently (within the last few months). It hails from one of the most exciting Bolivian localities of the last 10 years. It consists of an attractive, sharp, tabular, metallic silvery-grey color crystal with great form and sharp faces. The display side of the specimen is in good shape, while the reverse side of the piece is contacted from where another crystal once existed. 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 certainly could have been found very near the cover piece!
