Item Description
An amazing pyrite concretion from a NEW Chinese find. This striking, slightly flattened, oval ball of parallel bands of sparkly pyrite microcrystals on shale looks like a handwoven basket or clay pot with a very intricate, stylized pattern on the "lid". A unique and very showy specimen! Our Chinese source was able to come up with one more flat of this highly desirable and very unusual material.
