Item Description

Lustrous, brassy, intergrown pyrite crystal balls are aesthetically set on sculptural wedge of glassy quartz crystals on this excellent and very showy specimen from recent finds at the Fengjiashan Mine, China. All of the balls are pristine. The back of the piece is cleaved light sea-green fluorite with strong purple fluorescence. This is an unusual Chinese pyrite form, and is really nifty.
