Item Description

A stunning, pristine and superb 360-degree, large calcite and pyrite combination from this well-known Chinese skarn-type Fe-Cu-(Co) deposit. Sharp, translucent, satin luster, flattened, trigonal, gray, nailhead Calcite rhombohedrons comprise the sculptural, mounded specimen. Absolutely fantastic, glittering golden Pyrite microcrystals in surreal "Mercedes Benz" stars are preferentially set on each of the many calcite crystals. Valued at $2000-3000 easily if you saw one this good, at a show in a retail booth. This is a unique, RARE, truly dazzling style of calcite with pyrite from China or any locale.
