Superb Pyrite cuboctahedron (NEW FIND)

Item Description

A killer pyrite miniature from a New Find at the Huaron mines. A fantastic, 2.9 x 2.9 cm, cuboctahedron is dramatically perched atop smaller pyrites. This superlative and pristine 360-degree mirror-bright, brass-yellow crystal has fabulous, striated stepped-growth on ever face. The triangular patterns on the major faces are surreal. The apparent blemishs on the crystal are actually drusy quartz overgrowths. Every turn presents a fantastically different visual aspect to this superb specimen. Valued at $600-750 and worth it. These are some of the best pyrites in the world.
