Item Description
A beautiful, splendent crystal group of sharp, striated, bright, pale golden color compresses pyritohedral crystals of Pyrite from one of the most classic of Peruvian localities. This is about as metallic as Pyrite gets. The piece is nearly a "floater" as it is almost crystallized 100% of the way around, but the tiny amount of edgewear is more than forgivable. A lovely miniature display specimen of this well known material.
