Item Description
Pyrites from Navajun are one of the most easily recognizeable and iconic display specimens in the world. They are highly attractive, and arguably the finest crystallized representations of the species. This piece features a 1.5 cm razor-sharp, highly lustrous, metallic soft golden color cube of Pyrite aesthetically flaring off matrix. This locality is mined almost exclusively for its Pyrite crystals, which are world famous and well known among collectors. From the collection of John Arnaud.
