Description

A nice pyrite crystal with a lovely rust-brown patina that is completely unharmed on all sides. The backside was extracted from the rock and is also slightly crystallized or healed (no fresh fractures). Rare specimen from this location and hard to find - this crystal is very reminiscent of the alpine pyrite from Austria!
