Description

Pyrite from the area is well known - but just as tiny crystals under 1cm. Shar terminated, lustrous and even completely exposed crystals in this dimension are really outstanding. On one corner of 2 main crystals you can see a very uncommon modofication (detail photos in teh gallery). Nice contrast with quartz and very aesthetic!
