Bournonite
Unknown Owner
A super (!) old-time bournonite and quartz from the Herodsfoot Mine in Cornwall, England. These historic UK bournonite specimens date back to the 1800s, where/when the mineral was first recorded. This miniature has excellent aesthetics, with multiple intergrown bournonite crystals nested in quartz. Very cool for the discerning collector of metallics, UK minerals, or sulfosalts.
