Item Description

The Eagle mine is probably best known for its pyritohedral Pyrite specimens. This cluster is a great dipslay specimen of Eagle Mine Pyrite showing typical striated pyritohedra with sharp, lustrous faces. At one point there were hundreds if not thousands of these specimens available, and they are now seldom seen for sale like most classic minerals from Colorado. The largest crystal measures 1.5 cm across, and would make a great addition to any Colorado mineral suite.
