Item Description
Bournonite specimens from this small silver mine are among the finest found in the Western Hemisphere. This is an extremely rare, doubly terminated floater crystal of a silver-bearing tetrahedrite pseudomorph after a sharp, striated, bournonite crystal. Specimens of any species are seldom on the market from this locale. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection.
