Item Description
Exemplary Peruvian Pyrite, with superb luster and great form. These crystals have a beautiful, modified cube and pyritohedron habit, with the largest crystal about 1.7 cm across. The luster is mirror-like, and the cluster is very aesthetic with the crystals spread out across the specimen. Peru and Spain have produced the world's best Pyrites, and this beauty supports the Peruvian mystique very nicely. Many times better, in person. Brilliant luster and sharp form make this an exceptional piece, not just average poundage material! Valued $400-500
