Bill & Carol Smith Collection Bill and Carol Smith collected sulfosalts in general, but they collected bournonite as an impressive stand-alone suite with representation from many disparate localities.

This is a very aesthetic Peruvian bournonite. The small, but quite sharp tabular bournonite crystals are spaced on a sculptural matrix of white needle quartz.
