Item Description
Brilliant silver-brassy intergrown clusters and single pyrite of what appear to be cuboctahedrons are richly and aesthetically scattered on the large 3-dimensional matrix of light pastel-pink manganoan calcite on this showy and excellent large combination piece from this famous locale. These pyrites are of a large and very uncommon style from here. Choice and rare material from the Art Soregaroli Collection and even the mine level is known.
