Item Description

A sharp miniature bournonite crystal with splendent metallic luster and textbook, six-sided, orthorhombic form. The display view and termination are in fine shape, with the contacting on the back being mostly out of sight. Bournonite from other locales were expensive, until these fine examples from the Yaogangxian Mine starting coming out. Excellent and highly representative material from the Robert Whitmore Collection.
