Item Description

A STUNNING, EYE-POPPING, peacock-iridescent, 2.0 cm pyrite crystal aesthetically set on a sliver of matrix with tan, flattened calcite rhombs from a 2005 find at the famous Sarbay Mine of Kazakhstan. The PRISTINE crystal is complete all-around. The smaller, iridescent pyritohedrons are a very nice compliment. This is some of the best iridescence I have ever seen on a pyrite crystal from anywhere.
