Description

This is the first time a specimen from this location is listed at e-rocks, I had to add the location!

In 2016 I visited the historic quarries in Gusen with 2 friends of mine. After longer prospection we found a spot that produced some high quality pyrite on matrix. This is one of only few very good specimens found. The pyrite shows a very fine luster and is excellent crystallized. We managed to take out the specimen without any damage. Very rare stuff!
