Item Description
This striking, two-sided, euhedral, mound of two generations (mostly brassy with some metallic-gray) of intergrown, splendent, pyrite cubes resembles an octahedron, when you look at it in person. The lustrous, translucent, light pink manganoan calcite rhomb attached to the side makes this a very showy and unusual looking, two-sided combination piece from the famous mines at Dal'negorsk. Pinkish-orange fluorescence. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
