Item Description

A fine quality, 4.1 cm, sharp, lustrous, brassy metallic group of pseudo-hexagonal Pyrrhotite sitting on a stacked group of pale golden compressed rhombohedral Calcite from Dal'negorsk. These are some of the finest examples of Pyrrhotite in the world, and they seem to be dwindling on market. They deserve more attention from collectors for their quality, but the numerous specimens on the market diminished their initial value. Now that they're drying up, they are more than likely going to increase in value.
