Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific, old time example of bournonite from Germany!!! The bournonite specimens
from this unique locality exhibit incredibly complex and characteristic morphology!!! This specimen
consists of a cluster of highly complex crystals of lustrous, metallic bournonite on a matrix of bladed siderite crystals!!!
The bournonite crystals range in size to over 1.4cm!!! Although
there are incomplete crystals, there are numerous sharp, complete crystals present as well!!! Rare old time
material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the
collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and
there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer
collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
