An excellent piece of a world-famous locality: Golden-metallic, high-gloss pyrite with a diameter up to 2.2 cm!  The crystals show intensive lengthways stripes and at the same time also a slightly waved surface structure. It stands in the position without any support because it was cut on the bottom.
