Item Description
Bournonite is VERY RARE from the famous and historic mines of the Siegerland District. Sharp, moderately lustrous, metallic-gray, bournonite crystals to 1.0 cm richly cover the quartz and sulfide matrix along with brown siderite rhombs. The bournonites have light iridescence. There is more siderite on the back of the piece. Undoubtably old-time material. Ex Howard Belsky Collection.
