Item Description
An excellent tapered cluster of limonite pseudomorphs after sharp pyrite crystals from a classic Utah locality. The lustrous, striated, pseudos have a rich chocolate-brown texture with lighter brown accents. The large crystal is 2.6 cm. This complete all-around floater piece has only a couple of slight contacts at either end. OIder material (not from the big finds in the 1990s) from the Dennis Mullane Collection, as it comes with a Warner & Grieger label. They were prominent California dealers and collectors prior to World War II.
