Pyrite (ex Leigh Price Collection)

Item Description

The famous Eagle Mine produced some of the finest crystallized Pyrite specimens from any mine in Colorado. The crystals are almost always pyritohedral in habit and show superior luster and form. This small cabinet specimen hosts dozens of excellent quality, sharp, highly splendent, soft golden metallic colored crystals showing classic striated pyritohedral form sitting on a blocky piece of Quartz matrix. The largest crystal measures 7 mm across. The piece is in good condition, and although you can see a handful of crystals are contacted, most of them are pristine. A very attractive display specimen of this well known material from this now defunct locality. From the collection of Leigh Price, formerly of Evergreen, Colorado.
