Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, unique example of bournonite and galena from Peru!!! This specimen consists of a striking and unusual
cluster of spinel-twin galena crystals that hosts a complex, blocky crystal of
bournonite prominently perched among them!!! The galena crystals exhibit rare and dramatic
spinel twinning - giving them a complex blade-like habit with brilliantly metallic silver luster and
exhibit an almost "melted" look!!! The crystals are simply incredible upon close inspection in person!!!
The bournonite crystal has a somewhat blocky habit with striated features and dark gray metallic luster!!!
This is an amazing example of the species for the locale!!! Simply incredible 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 and retains its original personal collection label!!! 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!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
