Item Description

Seven, mirror-bright, brassy pyrite cubes are jauntily set on scultpural clay matrix on this outstanding and aesthetic specimen from the classic Spanish locality. Four of the crystals are interpenetrating pairs. The largest cube is 2.3 x 2.1 x 2.0 cm. These cubes have lightly scalloped faces. Complete all-around and very, very nearly pristine, with only super-trivial, barely noticeable edgewear on one crystal. Assume these are repaired, when mined, as this probably is. No repairs or glue backs on this fine piece. Classic material, common enough, but still a piece of cherrypicked quality I value highly. These make for stunning display specimens at a reasonable pricepoint. Displays well from several sides! One of the best ones from a recent lot we bought
