Pyrite on Calcite

Item Description

A dramatic and striking CABINET specimen from a find a couple of years back in China, and is absolutely unique: glittery, golden, bubbly/botryoidal, intergrown pyrite microcrystals on the edges of large (to 4.3 cm across on this piece) flattened rhombs of lustrous, colorless calcite. Some of the specimens had very sparse coverage of pyrite, just a salting, but here, it is richly carpeting the crystal edges. Outstanding condition for the size. Very few came out with this quality.
