This superb Italian classic features an association of multifaced, golden pyrite and dto. magnetite. Both species are well defined and highly lustrous. The center of the piece is pristine, only in the periphery there was the rock. A very good sample and an excellent opportunity to get such a fine specimen from this well known Italian skarn deposit.
