Item Description
Two, smaller pyrite crystals are aesthetically perched on an equant, splendent, brassy yellow pyrite cube measuring 5 cm on a side. The specimen displays well from more than one vantage point. LARGE AND DRAMATIC, as these are so wont to be, this is an impressive piece visually. I do need to caution that both smaller crystals are repaired (as is also often the case) with some crushed pyrite fill at the junction, and replacing also one corner of a small cube. So, not a pristine piece, but nevertheless very dramatic and representative, and good to impress people from outside the hobby with such incredible symmetry in nature.
