Item Description

A large thumbnail specimen featuring a fairly bright, brass-yellow, complex Pyrite cuboctahedron with pyritohedral modifications from the Muzo Mine, renowned for some of the best Emeralds in the world. This is certainly one of the better examples of Pyrite that we've offered from this mine. They're not common and if you're a sulfide collector, or simply a Pyrite collector, you should have one of these in your collection. A few nicks here and there, but good for the material.
