Item Description
Everybody knows of the famous 1800's-era Bristol Mine for one species: chalcocite. However, it did produce other minerals, including fine iridescent bornites and chalcopyrites. This solid bornite thumbnail consists of moderately iridescent magenta blocky and tabular crystals. Bornite crystals are generally rare from any locale. Choice, rich and rare old-time material from this historic locale. Ex Josef Vajdak Collection.
