Pyrite (classic locale) Paul Zerfass Coll.

Item Description

Large intergrown pyrite octahedrons set on hematite matrix form a sculptural and impressive specimen from the famous and ancient iron mines at Rio Marina. The splendent brass-yellow crystal faces are dramatically enhanced by fabulous octahedral stepped-growth and sparkly embedded hematite. The pyrite faces on this striking 270-degree specimen are pristine. Classic and excellent pyrite with large crystals from the Paul Zerfass Collection # 966. MUCH better in person, the high luster and angular faces make photography difficult.
