Item Description

Pyrrhotite specimens from Santa Eulalia are among the worlds finest and this is an outstanding example. Tapered columns of sharp hexagonal crystals have lustrous, very rich golden-bronze color. The flat-topped terminations are much more lustrous, than the sides. We have seen lots of Santa Eulalia pyrrhotites, but very few of this rich golden-bronze color. Pristine. Old material from the 1960s or 1970s. Exceptional and classic material from the Consie Prince Collection.
