Item Description
The well-known Rensselaer Quarry of Indiana is noted for excellent calcite, marcasite and pyrite specimens, but seldom do you see well-formed, classic, elongated, pyrite "bars". This nifty, sharp minature has nice bronzey luster, with each face having an interesting and unusual form. Decidedly uncommon material from this noted locale, which is closed and flooded. Ex Jaime Bird Collection and dates to the 1960s to mid 70s.
