Where to get true bornite? Obsidian?
Peacock ore is generic name for catch all copper/iron-sulfuric minerals so will not refer to it since been looking for true bornite minerals. Ebay is full of common chalcopyrite that been acid treated to bring out colorful peacock effect.
Do anyone know a seller to buy true bornite? I already have chalcopyrite but meta-psychical properties is different between two. I have not seen both that is named correctly that are both acid-treated so how to tell both apart? What about natural tarnished effect either?
Also I have trouble with telling apart from true black obsidian that are natural or fake black glass on ebay as well otherwise apart from other obsidian with inclusions. Any solution for this? Reason for this need a large black obsidian made this harder to know is true one.
There are many that pass off using black glass or obsidian as black tourmaline too.
Cheers, stonecollection
