Item Description
A superb and rare bournonite combination specimen from this ancient mine and the Howard Belsky Collection. A splendent, metallic-gray, doubly terminated, barrel-shaped, bournonite crystal cogwheel is aesthetically set on a striking and rich combination matrix. Amazing, narrow, jackstraw, pyrite needle clusters are beautifully complimented by lustrous, sphalerite crystals, cream-colored, nubby, calcite balls, one glassy quartz crystal flower on the edge and another nearby bournonite crystal. This is an exceptionally fine, very rare and showy combination from this historic locale.
