Item Description

Iridescent, bronzy, parallel-growth pyrrhotite blades in a very nifty 2.0 cm cluster are aesthetically attached to a knob covered with super-sparkly, glassy, colorless, calcite rhombs. The showy and excellent combination piece displays well in two orientations and is from the historic mines at Pribram. Pyrrhotite is VERY RARE from Pribram and this is a good one. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. His older label, ten or more years old, has a $250 price tag.
