Item Description
Shangbao pyrites can hold their own with Huanzala Mine, Peru pieces. Very high praise, indeed. This very aesthetic cluster of mirror-bright, striated, brass-yellow cubes is highlighted by the 2.0 x 1.9 x 1.3 cube at the top of the specimen. Nearly pristine, with only very trivial scattered edge wear. This fine pyrite displays beautifully from either side.
