Item Description

A rarely seen pseudomorph from famous Washington Camp area featuring a predominant striated cube of what was once Pyrite with a smaller accenting crystal which have pseudomorphed to the rare iron silicate species, Hisingerite. Now it should be noted that Hisingerite has not been reported from this locality, I'm going off of the information on the label here, but if anybody has some insight about this piece, please let us know. From the noted pseudomorph collection of Dr. Wouter van Tichelen of Belgium.
