Item Description
This is a very pretty pyrite specimen because of the unusual way the pyrites interact with the quartz, as if they are nestled in beds of tiny quartz needles. The pyrite crystals are very sharp, and look machined. They reach 1.7 cm, not particularly big - but again, this piece is about the aesthetics, not the size. All the isolated crystals in the display core are undamaged, and only one side crystal has damage of note. Gary Weaver collection.
