This specimen displays lustrous pyrite pentagonal dodecahedrons totally replaced by goethite. The bottom of the specimen allows to get an insight inside the former pyrite crystals: it is now brown goethite.

A true rarity found some years ago in Agos-Vidalos, Pyrenees; a very few pieces made their way to the market, so here is your chance to get a fine specimen !
