Item Description
Dal'negorsk pyrrhotites compare or surpass the world's finest, including Santa Eulalia. This is an exceptionally fine and pristine, 360-degree specimen of two, intergrown, highly lustrous, tabular, hexagonal, bronzey, pyrrhotite crystals nicely accented by a bit of quartz. Older material from the late 1980s - early 1990s, when Dal'negorsk specimens were first coming to the US market. Classic and most excellent material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this fine piece at $400, more than five years ago. This ones for you, if you are looking for a good Dal'negorsk pyrrhotite.
