Item Description
Mirror-bright, brass-yellow pyrite cubes to 1.3 are strikingly intergrown into three ball-like clusters and are dramatically perched on the thin-bladed, cream-colored barite matrix. The small pyrite cluster on the top is mesmerizing! Pristine. A significant, classic and excellent pyrite combination from this famed pyrite and fluorite-producing locale. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and purchased in 1981 at the MSSC 50th Anniversary Show at Pasadena from Perky Minerals.
