Item Description
A striking, aesthetic and very nifty two-sided comhination from Panasqueira and the Art Soregaroli Collection. Scintillating, brassy, pyrite microcrystals coat one side of the impressive upright cluster of sharp arsenopyrite crystals. Calcite rhombs have partially overgrown the pyrite on the back side leaving giving a dramatic terraced look with the pyrites. The base on both sides is complimented with muscovite books. Complete all-around and pristine. Certainly a classic, distinctive and unusual combination piece.
