Item Description

Wow! A fantastic, 4.7 cm, elongated pyrite cube dominates this outstanding 360-degree small cabinet from Huanzala. The crystals have striking mirror-bright brassy luster with very nifty subtle stepped-growth faces. Complete all-around. The dramatic display face is essentially pristine with only minimal contacting and periphery wear at the base and the few bruised crystals on the back are out-of-sight. Specimens of this quality illustrate why Huanzala is considered one of the world's great pyrite localities. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection and valued at $750-900. BETTER IN PERSON!
