Item Description

A very weird-looking and striking combination specimen from Santa Eulalia and the Dave Stoudt Collection.The nubby ball of lustrous, brassy pyrite looks just like a "brain"! The brain rests on a spiky bed of iron oxide-tinted quartz needles. The contacting on the back is out of sight on the display view. A supremely unusual and very showy pyrite form and combination from this famed locale.
