Double Pyrite "Sun" (rare) Van Tichelen Coll.

Item Description

These beautiful, lustrous pyrite floater "suns" formed between an ancient bed of shale and clay near Sparta, Illinois. This large one is complete all-around, front and back and is rare, in that there are two side-by-side disks grown together. The radial appearance of the pyrite is very interesting and the pyrite has a flashy, chatoyant shimmer. This one has an intensely silvery/brassy finish. Very highly representative of this unusual occurrence. This is one of the few multi-disk style, that we have offered at auction. Ex Wouter Van Tichelen Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
