Item Description

An uncommon piece from the Wessels Mine in the KMF consisting of Pyrite and Calcite. Although not rare from the manganese deposits here, one rarely does one see Pyrite specimens from this area, at least not in the U.S. Complex, bright, brassy yellow clusters of modified Pyrite cubes are accentuated by a single, white, moderately well-formed Calcite scalenohedron. Old piece from the Charlie Key Collection
