Item Description

A gorgeous miniature display specimen of Pyrite featuring many intergrown cubic crystals with octahedral modifications. The faces are rather sharp, with good luster that classic silvery-golden color. The overall aesthetics and elegant form of the piece make it a very nice Pyrite specimen from this classic Peruvian locality. There are some very minor contacts, but it still displays very well, and truly stands out among countless other "boring" Pyrites I have seen from this mine.
