Pyrite cuboctahedrons (Soregaroli Coll.)

Item Description

The Huanzala Mine of Peru has arguably produced the world's finest pyrites and this large specimen is an excellent example. Striking, intergrown, bright, brassy, flat-topped, cuboctahedrons comprise this sculptural specimen. A very nifty feature of these octos are the unusual modified crystal edges and the etched/pitted prism faces. The crystals look like Mayan pyramids. The interior of the piece is pristine. Highly representative and showy material, in large size and high quality. Ex Art Soregaroli.
