Who would have imagined that the Yaogangxian would start turning out big, fine crystals of a "classic" mineral that was just SO difficult and expensive to obtain before. This bournonite crystal is complete all around (contact on the back side only). The downside of the Yaogangxian bournonites has been substantial damage, but this one is in great condition! 3.4 x 3.0 x 2.9cm
