Item Description
Superlative, mirror-bright, brass-yellow, tabular, pyrite pyritohedrons with fabulous striated faces are beautifully accented with dogtooth calcite crystals on this outstanding and aesthetic combination plate from this obscure Peruvian mine. The plethora of calcites on the back is a super bonus. Comparable to the best from the renowned Huanzala Mine. The presentation view is essentially pristine. Value? We feel $1250 is a fair price.
