Description

Drusy hosting a dozen of pentagonododecahedral, striated brass colored pyrite crystals on a set of crude milky quartz crystals. Pyrite is quite fresh and the two species show a very pleasant color contrast. In pretty good conditions, with very minimal peripheral damage. Also a good subject for photomicrography.

Specimens from the area are definitely hard to come by. This one is dated back to the late 80s and it has resided into my collection until now.
