Description

What you see here is a very rare specimen as it was found in the 1970s at the construction site of a danube power plant in Upper Austria. You can imagine that there were only a few days for discoveries.

The shape of this one is very unusual, but the specimen consists of crystallized pyrite only. A couriosity!
