Item Description
A classic Pyrite specimen from Leadville showing pyritohedral faces of the sharp, lustrous, metallic, golden crystals which are aesthetically perched on matrix. The luster is so bright on the piece that it was rather difficult to photograph, but I did my best to show off these beautiful crystals. The largest crystal measures 2.1 cm across. The specimen is great shape overall, and is a wonderful example of this hard to find material from a classic Colorado locality. One of the very few pieces of this sought after material that I have offered. From the collection of Rich Kosnar.
