Item Description
Scintillating, mirror-bright, brass-yellow, pyrite crystals from Bingham, Utah. The striated cubic to pyritohedral crystals, to 9 mm, form a very showy mounded plate. Excellent, old-time material with just a bit of bruising and periphery wear. Well-crystallized pyrite is just not that common from this famous locale. Ex Jaime Bird Collection.
