Item Description
The Huanzala Mine of Peru has arguably produced the world's finest pyrites and this dramatic large plate is an outstanding example. Intergrown, strikingly striated, golden metallic cubes to 5.6 cm form an amazingly sculptural two-sided plate. The impresssive front is very nearly pristine, with only bruising and periphery wear. Classic Huanzala pyrite from the Bob Trimingham Collection and formerly in the Don Belsher Collection, according to his label.
