Description

The pyrite sphere (48mm across) is in remarkable dimension, it shows intense golden color and fine luster. The sphere is complete all around (the photos show front and backside) and the contrast to dark grey matrix is very attractive! This material comes only from a fist full of small dicoveries, so it should be high ranked for the rare locality! No significant damages to report.
