Bornite, a Rough Landscape of Colour
Turquoise-blue, purple and pink brighten the dark grey surfaces of this Bornite, with small gold-coloured patches adding a warmer gleam. The contrast is striking: bright reflections catch the rough surface while the deeper recesses remain dark.
Irregular, angular outlines give Bornite a rugged character. Uneven edges, ridges and crevices break up the surface, letting its metallic-looking sheen mingle with shadow rather than spreading into one smooth reflection. There is plenty for the eye to wander over.
In a little world of the imagination, these colours could light a cavern of angular walls and shadowed passages. Purple and pink would glow against the grey, with a small gold-coloured patch like a distant window in the rock.
