Item Description
Superb, sharp cluster of Pyrite cubes on a rose-colored, fluorescent matrix of what may be Calcite crystals. The Pyrite cubes are extremely well-formed and have a rich, textured metallic luster. The largest of the cubes is .55 cm on edge, and the distribution and sizes of the Pyrites create excellent balance. The Calcite has a strong orange-red fluorescence. RARE FOR LOCALITY
