Pyrite concretion (Nowakowski Coll.)

Item Description

Splendent, metallic-gray, striated, intergrown, pyrite cubes, to 2.7 cm, form a striking oval concretion on this very fine, two-sided piece from China. The centers are a smaller, nifty, second generation cubes with a rich dusting of tiny, sparkly third genertion crystals on the outer perimeter. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only very trivial bruising. Choice material from the Robert Nowakowski Collection. His label says Quandong, Hunan, China, which is incorrect.
