Item Description
Natural Cubist Modern Art sculpture in the form of two intergrown, mirror-bright pyrite cubes from Navajun. Pyrites from Navajun are one of the most easily recognizeable and abundant display specimens in the world and this is an excellent example. The bright brass-yellow cubes, to 2.9 cm, form an artistic 360-degree specimen when rotated. The color and high luster, razor-sharp edges and dramatic form make a fine sculpture for this species. Nearly pristine, with only a few tiny bits of edge wear and, as with all such clusters, one assumes a repair. Ex Gene Meieran Sulfide Collection.
