Item Description

Pyrrhotite specimens from Santa Eulalia are among the worlds finest and this is an excellent example. Interesting, slightly bent columns of sharp hexagonal crystals have lustrous, very rich golden-bronze color and are nicely accent by a fat side car crystal. 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. The contacting on the back is out-of-sight. Old material from the 1960s or 1970s. Aesthetic and classic material from the Consie Prince Collection.
