Item Description
The Eagle Mine is probably best known for its pyrite specimens. This cluster is a great display piece of Eagle Mine pyrite showing classic striated cubes with sharp, highly lustrous faces and rich brass-yellow color. The largest crystal measures 1.5 cm across. The piece is in very good shape, with two contacted edges and just a bit of periphery wear. This piece displays grandly from several directions. A good sized piece of this well known material from this now defunct locality.
