Item Description
A dramatic and excellent specimen from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Rust-red limonite coats two striking clusters of intergrown pyrite cubes jauntily perched atop the sculptural shale matrix. These are not pseudomorphs, as the piece is much too heavy to be just iron oxide - 176 grams. Uncommon, very high quality material from the Hohe Tauern Mountains of Austria. It looks great from either side.
