Large, heavy specimen of Reneirite and Bornite. Renierite is a rare germanium sulfosalt species with a reddish bronze color. There's alot going with this specimen, and a lot looks like it is Bornite and Pyrite or Chalcopyrite, with small areas of Renierite and Chrysocolla. It's a large baseball sized specimen and probably should be broken up and examined more. With old label from Mineralogical Research Co.
