Item Description
Sharp cogwheels of lustrous, gunmetal-gray, bournonite crystals are richly and aesthetically clustered on the sculptural matrix strikingly accented with fine spray of quartz points, to 1.9 cm, the rich dusting of intensely sparkly tiny pyrites and the scattered of contrasting pastel-pink, manganoan calcites rhombs amongst the bournonites. All around a really nice and rich bournonite specimen with super associations. Such fine bournonite combinations are very uncommon from Pachapaqui. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection.
