Item Description
Mirror-bright, brass-yellow pyrite cubes to 1.5 are aesthetically clustered in the center of this showy plate and nicely accented by frosted sphalerite crystals and an unknown soft white mineral on the edges. One cube in the center may be cleaved, but it is REALLY hard to tell. A classic and excellent pyrite combination from this famed pyrite and fluorite-producing locale. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and purchased in 1978.
