BOURNONITE – YAOGANXIEN MINE CHINA
$255.00
For sale is a bournonite crystal from China. This Chinese locality is recognised as one of the world’s bournonite specimens locations. The specimen consists of a large prismatic doubly terminated crystal of lustrous metallic bournonite. (Sorry actually probable a group of parallel twinned crystals). The termination at the base of the specimen is crude but it is natural The only chipping is on the thin pointed “base” of the crystal, otherwise perfect all around, say one or two minor chips. I have tried to capture the exquisite terminations at the other end, quite mesmerising in person.
