Item Description
Impressive, rich, large and sculptural pyrite from one of the world's great pyrite localities - the Huanzala Mine of Peru. Mirror-bright, brassy, sharp pyrite cuboctahedrons of variable sizes dramatically cover the striking 360-degree mounded plate. The crystals reach 2.7 cm on this very aesthetic piece. Most crystal faces are smooth, but some are striated, which adds an additional element character. Complete all-around and essentially, for all the crystal density, with only a few gently bruised crystals. A very fine and rich large example of this pyrite varietal from the famed locale, picked up on Pohl's own travels there decades ago. 1785 grams or 3.9 pounds mass.
