Item Description
A STRIKING, stacked cluster of mirror-bright, brass-yellow pyrite crystals from the famous mines at Concepcion del Oro, Mexico and the Dave Stoudt Collection. First, this is a complete all-around specimen, that is very nearly pristine, having only trivial edgewear. Every side of this facinating piece presents a totally different view! The super lustrous cubes, have sharp, but weird-looking cuboctahedral corner modification faces. The modified faces have stepped-growth features, that add a very strange and unusual look! This is really a VERY FINE, Mexican pyrite specimen.
