Item Description

Intergrown, complex, highly lustrous and strikingly, partially iridescent, hematite-coated pyrite cubes are dramatically accented by sprays of lustrous, colorless, calcite scalenohedrons. The variable rich patina of the rust-red pyrite cubes is really eyecatching. Complete all-around, with only a bit of periphery wear to the calcites. This is a very showy and excellent, 360-degree combination specimen from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia and the Larry Krause dealer stock. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
