Bornite : Cu5FeS4

Cole Mine (Cole shaft; Cole No. 3), Bisbee, Warren District, Mule Mts, Cochise Co., Arizona, USA

8.4 x 3.3 x 1.8 cm. A pretty specimen of the Bisbee ore-mineral bornite, iridescent, with shimmering purple, gold and blue colors, and happens to be attached to a strip of accenting matrix which makes it a pretty specimen compared to the normal all-bornite chunk. Ex. Stoudt Collection.
