Item Description
Pyrite specimens from this obscure Mississippi locale are very uncommon. This is a classic radiating "pineapple" of knobs of tightly intergrown, moderately lustrous, brassy metallic pyrite octahedrons. Complete all-around and pristine, the contact is at the base. Specimens of ANY species are RARE from this Gulf Coast state. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
