Item Description
Mirror-bright, brass-yellow pyritohedrons form a striking and aesthetic, elongated, doubly tapered specimen from Huanzala. Huanzala produced some of the finest pyrites in the world and this is a nifty and sculptural example from the Art Soregaroli Collection. I like the way the largest crystals are concentrated in the center of this piece.
