Description
The recent groundbreaking finds in the deepest 11th horizon of the Trepca mine set a new standard for the species in this deposit and put Trepca on the map as one of the top localities worldwide for bournonite. Here is an absolutely unique and outstanding large cabinet specimen combining a 13.2 cm large pyrite pseudomorph after pyrrhotite decorated with lustrous bournonite ‘cogwheel’ crystals (up to 2.7 cm) and a group of brown amphibole included quartz (main crystal 9.5 cm)! Note that one bournonite crystal was repaired. The only specimen showing such a dramatic combination that came out from the discovery! Discovery horizon 11 (-745 m) north on the 18th of August 2022.
