Description

At the Munich show I found the booth of a french collector. My eyes were caught by pyrite hosting on very dark matrix. He found the specimens himself and just prepared his booth. So I was able to do the first pick :)

This specimen shows the finest quality of the location. It shows bright yellow pyrite on a very dark matrix, the contrast couldn't be higher. The pyrite very well developed and has a very good luster.
