Stannite, Jamesonite
These specimens came out about two years ago, and until recently, their identity wasn't known for sure. From the beginning they were speculated as being Stannite with Jamesonite, and that's what they turned out to be. Most people who are fans of Bolivian minerals are probably familiar with the classic Stannite and Zinkenite association specimens from San Jose that were found circa WWII, but these new specimens are much more rare, and are the only association of Stannite with Jamesonite, that I have seen from any locality. The specimen features several sharp, lustrous, metallic, brassy colored, twinned crystals of Stannite sitting atop and mixed with a matrix of acicular Jamesonite crystals. Stannite is copper iron tin sulfide and some of the best pieces of this mineral come from this mine.
