famous find many years ago at the Yaoganxian Mine in China. Bournonite is
a trithioantimoniate of lead and copper and is categorized as a sulfosalt

Below are bournonite specimens acquired last year from Georg Gebhard,
the famous mineral collector and authority on Tsumeb. Bournonite from China
first appeared on the mineral market in 1989 with erroneous locality information,
probably caused by Chinese dealers trying to conceal the true source of the
bournonite crystals. After about 4 years it was finally revealed that they
originated from the Yaoganxian Mine. Gebhard and other German collectors
obtained these in the late 1990s when it was possible for collectors to lease
the mine for specimen collecting. Gebhard used these for trading with mineral
museums and mineral collectors. The size and quality of these bournonite
crystals is exemplary and few are available from other sources these days.
