A stunning miniature featuring a single large crystal that has excellent luster, form, and is dramatically perched on matrix. For the price and size range, this is not only one of the better Chinese bournonite miniatures I have had, but also one at the best price I have yet been able to obtain and offer for a piece of this quality. It leaps out from a case, and is really quite impressive for what you get compared to specimens from other classic bournonite localities.
