Item Description

Pyrite is an uncommon accessory sulfide from the now famous Milpillas Mine. This sharp tabular highly modified pyritohedron has classic mirror-bright, brass-yellow color. The striations and pitting dramatically enhance the primary face. Some of the complex edge faces are sharp and complete, with some being dinged. This remains a very showy and highly representative example of uncommon pyrite from Milpillas.
