Item Description
Superb, sharp clusters of Pyrite cubes on Hematite-rich matrix. The Pyrite cubes are extremely well-formed and have a rich, textured metallic luster. These spherical clusters average about 1 cm across, and the distribution and sizes of the Pyrite clusters create excellent balance. The aesthetics are outstanding. Better even in person. THIS IS A VERY RARE SPECIES FOR THE MANGANESE FIELDS, and SUPERB FOR LOCALE!
