Item Description

The Eagle mine is probably best known for its pyritohedral Pyrite specimens. This cluster is a good representative Eagle mine Pyrite showing typical striated pyritohedra with sharp, bright, metallic lustrous faces. The largest Pyrite crystal measures 1.4 cm across. 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.
