Item Description
This is one of the more aesthetic specimens of Bournonite that I have offered from Bolivia in the auctions in months. This piece hosts a superb, attractive, lustrous, sharp, somewhat tabular, metallic, silvery-grey color, lustrous, somewhat "cogwheel"-shaped crystal group measuring 2.0 cm sitting atop a matrix with Pyrite and minor associated micro Quartz. This specimen is from a find from 2008 in Bolivia, and is certainly aesthetic not to mention in great condition overall. Valued at $400-$500 retail.
