DESCRIPTION
This striking mineral specimen features rare bournonite crystals beautifully perched on a shimmering matrix of pyrite after pyrrhotite, sourced from the world‑renowned Stan Terg (Stari Trg) Mine in the Trepča complex, Kosovo.
The bournonite displays its classic metallic gunmetal lustre, sharp crystal faces, and characteristic cogwheel twinning, creating an eye‑catching contrast against the brassy pyrite. The underlying pyrite preserves the original pyrrhotite crystal habit, forming a desirable pseudomorph that adds both geological interest and aesthetic depth to the piece.
Specimens from Trepča are highly sought after for their exceptional quality and unique sulfosalt–sulfide combinations. This piece captures the signature Trepča look: high contrast, crisp geometry, and a rare species pairing that stands out in any mineral collection.
A superb addition for collectors who appreciate European classics, pseudomorphs, and visually striking sulfosalt assemblages.
