Item Description

Sharp, splendent, brassy, densley intergrown pyrite cubes form a very showy and rich, sculptural, large mounded specimen. The impressive large edge cube is 2.2 cm long and all the crystals have a slight secondary overgrowth. Nearly pristine, with all of the crystal density, with only a few gently bruised crystals. This excellent specimen is from the well-known extinct pyrite Gavorrano Mine. The mine operated from 1898 until 1984 (MINDAT). From a European collection. A rich, fine and large example from the locale.
