Item Description
A classic and very showy floater cluster of intergrown, sharp, mirror-bright, brass-yellow, pyrite pyritohedrons from the famous and ancient iron mines of Elba Island. The largest pyritohedron is 4.5 cm. This nifty piece is complete all-around and is nearly pristine, with only one small dinged area. Textbook, old-time material, and from the Gene Meieran Collection.
