Item Description

This is a sparkling beauty of calcite on pyrite, with stunning golden iridescent colors to it. It came out of a small mine in Chihuahua (not sure when - have not seen this material on market!), and has long been in the Gary Weaver collection. Gary specialized in unusual minerals of the Southwest. It is not "important" for either species, and yet it is somehow gorgeous, as a composition made of both. It has amazing geometry and color contrast in person.
