Item Description
A mirror-bright, brass-yellow, pyrite pyritohedron is aesthetically accented by two, water-clear, quartz points from the famous Spruce Claim. The large quartz is 4.6 cm and both crystals are pristine. Complete all-around and pristine (uncommon). The back has negative impressions, where seven quartz crystals once lay. Excellent and classic combination material from this dangerous locale. Self-collected by Karl Faddis (a Seattle-area native collector). valued $400-500
