Item Description
A striking and aesthetic pyrite specimen from the Shangbao Mine. Mirror-bright, very well striated, brass-yellow pyrite cubes comprise this very attractive specimen. The amazing, central, elongated cube is 3.8 cm. Shangbao pyrites of this quality compare very favorably to what are considered the world"s best from the Huanzala Mine of Peru. The trivial bit of edgewear and contacting on the right side of the piece have very minimal impact on the overall excellent quality of this specimen. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
