Large Pyrite xl plate (excellent)

Item Description

A dramatic, rich and sculptural large pyrite crystal plate from Spain. Pyrites from Navajun are one of the most easily recognizeable and iconic display specimens in the world. They are highly attractive, and arguably the finest crystallized representations of the species. This impressive piece hosts over 45 isolated sharp, mirror-bright brassy cubes, to 1.8 cm. This locality is mined almost exclusively for its pyrite crystals, which are world famous and well known among collectors. Note that in the process of excavation, some of the crystals probably came off the matrix and are thus reattached (as is the case on this piece). This is definitely a superior piece of above average quality, that you would generally see at wholesale. The crystal isolation is noteworthy.
