Item Description
A striking, 2.8 cm cluster of sharp, bronzy, interpenetrating pyrite twins is jauntily set in shale matrix on this fine specimen from an uncommon German locality. The density and complexity of the twinning is very noteworthy and the pyrites are pristine. Seldom on the market from this abandoned quarry. Ex Howard Belsky Collection.
