Description

This specimen represents a great rarity. Pyrite is very rare for the region. Although Rauris Valley is incredible rich of minerals, Pyrite was always rare. This specimen shows a spherical crystal, consisting of uncountable sharp tiny faces with good luster and dark brown-red color. It is set on sparkling tiny quartz crystals - the assemble is very aesthetic.
