Item Description

These fairly new and incredibly interesting Pyrite concretions are some of the most unique specimens that I have seen from any locality. The sparkling, sharp, modified, metallic Pyrite crystals have formed a "wash" with some pronounced larger crystals on a "sphere" of shale. The specimen resembles some kind of strange planet, and almost has an organic look to it. A very cool "floater" specimen unlike anything I have seen.
