Item Description
The famous Huanzala Mine is one of the great localities in Peru, producing some of the most breathtaking Pyrite specimens from any locality in the world. This piece is a fantastic cabinet sized display specimen featuring For reference, this locality used to be in the Huallanca District, Dos de Mayo Province, Huánuco Department of Peru, but the borders were redrawn, and now it lies in the Bolognesi Province of the Áncash Department. A cool group of lustrous metallic golden octahedral Pyrite with crystals measuring up to 3.3 cm across. A bit of damage on the outer areas, but not bad on the display side. Keep in mind that octahedral Pyrite is not common from any locality, mostly Butte, Montana and various Mines in Peru are the only good sources for octahedral Pyrite crystals.
