Item Description

First-rate Pyrrhotite from Dalnegorsk, historically one of the world’s great localities for sulfides. The centerpiece of this fine specimen is a splendent, brassy, and stacked pseudohexagonal Pyrrhotite discs that are finely layered. The Pyrrhotite is a full 5 cm across, and attached to it is a cluster of delicate Quartz crystals (hence the reason that some of these Quartz crystals are missing). Rather resembling a turkey at first glance, this combination forms a very aesthetic small cabinet specimen from the famous Nikoleavskiy Mine at Dalnegorsk, probably from the 1980s. ex George Elling Collection.
