Item Description

An EXCELLENT, complete all-around and aesthetic cluster of mirror-bright, brass-yellow, pyrite cubes from recent finds at the famous Shangbao Mine of China. Nearly a floater, the one, small point of attachment on the back on the smaller crystals and the trivial edgewear are certainly not a detraction on this very fine Chinese pyrite specimen. Very highly representative of the species and locale.
