Item Description
Five, interpenetrating pyrite cubes and a single loner cube are very aesthetically set in clay matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from a classic Spanish locality - Navajun, La Rioja. The sharp, mirror-bright, brassy, crystals, to 3.0, have a light iridescence to them. One crystal in the cluster has cornerwear, but is mostly out of sight. Highly representative of the species and noted locale.
