Baia Sprie, Maramures Co., Romania

description:

An excellent well crystallized example for this rare species. Metallic crystal groupings of bournonite to 0.5 cm in size on a matrix of metallic crystallized freislebenite.  Sphalerite and quartz present as well.  A photocopy of a previous antique label comes with the specimen, the original copy did not come to me in the collection. Identity has been confirmed. A note on the previous Jensen label says that the piece was collected in 1884.
