Item Description
A very aesthetic combination specimen from the famous Butte District. A cluster of sharp, brassy, mirror-bright, pyrite crystals are superbly placed at the top of a plate of milky quartz crystals. Some of the pyrite crystal faces are preferentially striated, adding much character. The large quartz crystal is 2.5 cm. The pyrites are pristine and the couple of broken quartz crystals are hardly noticeable. This is outstanding, old-time combination material from this historic district. Ex Rober Lambert and Richard Hauck Collections. Valued at $400.
