Bournonite
0 for sale
Very large twinned crystal shaped like an extruded cross, bright and very well-formed, on a matrix of small quartz crystals, sphalerite tufts and small pale blue fluorite crystals. This specimen was nicknamed "Lalibela" in reference to the Unesco World Heritage Site Lalibela, Ethiopia, due to the resemblance of the crystal with the churches built as extruded crosses found at that site.
