Pyrrhotite & Calcite (fluorescent) ex Obodda

Item Description

Dal'negorsk is renowned for world-class sulfide specimens and this is a dramatically sculptural pyrrhotite with calcite combination. The two intergrown, lustrous, bronzy, fabulously stepped-growth, hexagonal pyrrhotite crystals remind me of a hematite rose from the Alps! The glassy calcite disks on the top, back and sides are super compliments. The calcites fluorescence light pink. This is an excellent and pristine combination from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The pyrrhotite quality rivals the finest from Santa Eulalia. Valued by Herb at $500, more than 6 years ago.
