Item Description

Glittering golden and silvery pyrite microcrystals are festooned on intergrown lustrous and translucent gray calcite rhombs on this striking, colorful and uncommon combination from recent Chinese finds. The noted periphery wear along one edge is certainly only a modest detraction to this impressive combination. Bright orange-pink fluorescence.
