Pyrite (ex Roy Evans Collection)

Item Description

A rarely seen and desirable specimen of these lesser known compressed Pyrite groups from Texas of all places! This piece is an excellent and aesthetic compressed mound plate of bright, shiny, minute Pyrite crystals surrounded by larger Pyrite cubes to 1.0 cm from the Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport in Texas which was built in the early 1970s. This locality is now extinct, as runway expansion obliterated the stream bank where these were found in a Cretaceous shale layer. Ex. Roy Evans Collection.
