Description

Floater aggregate of blocky marcasite from the hilly and muddy hills of Roteglia, a locality known just to a rather restricted community of local collectors. Crystals are rather fresh and display a good lustre.

The specimen has been in my collection for over 15 years and does not display pervasive alteration, therefore I would define it stable.
