Item Description

Pyrite is relatively rare from the famous N'Chwaning mines. A 2.4 cm rosette of lustrous, brassy pyritohedrons is aesthetically set in a dense plate of variably-sized dogtooth calcite crystals. One small spot of calcite bruising is certainly only a modest detraction to this rare and excellent combination. Pink fluorescence.
