Pyrite "ball" w/ Limonite coating (Dr. B. Phillips Coll.)

Item Description

Densely intergrown well-striated, brassy pyritohedrons form a striking and scuptural floater "ball" from this less well-known German locale. Most of the crystals have a mahogany-brown limonite coating, adding color and contrast. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only one gently bruised crystal noted. Excellent material from the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection and seldom on the market.
