Description
English: Sphalerite, Bornite, Pyrite, Jamesonite
Locality: Estaño Orcko mine (Estaño Orkho mine), Machacamarca District (Colavi District), Cornelio Saavedra Province, Potosí Department, Bolivia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 6.8 x 6.7 x 3.0 cm.
From the find from about 7 years ago (2002), this is a piece from that great find at the Estano Orcko mine. This small cabinet size specimen features a few good-size, relatively sharp, dark, lustrous, modified dodecahedra of Sphalerite associated with pyritohedral crystals of Pyrite and acicular crystals of Jamesonite. The Sphalerite crystals have a very slight unusual "peacock blue-green" patina which is actually a Bornite "wash" that is seen on practically every specimen from this find.
