Description
This is a bournonite crystal that has crystallized on fine quartz needles. Multiple dodecahedral pyrite crystals dot the sample, associated with numerous dolomite rhombohedrons. It was found in the Saint Pierre de Mésage iron mine in Isère. This sample can be considered a classic of Isère mineralogy, especially as the bournonite crystal is a must for the deposit.
