Description

This is a superrare specimen and actually I should set a reserve bid. Here you are bidding on well developed shiny gold pseudomorphoses of  Pyrite after Pyrrhotite, set on black and multifaced Sphalerite crystals. Despite the specimen is not perfect it is anyway a super specimen, contrastful and aesthetics and exceeding hard to come by nowadays.
