Item Description

A gorgeous big cabinet display specimen of Pyrite featuring intergrown pyritohedral crystals measuring up to 2.1 cm and associated with white Calcite. The faces are rather sharp, with good luster and that classic silvery-golden color. The overall aesthetics and elegant form of the piece make it a very nice Pyrite specimen from this classic Peruvian locality. It displays very well, and truly stands out among countless other "boring" Pyrites I have seen from this mine. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
