Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of pyrite from Franklin!!! This specimen hosts a sharp, brilliantly metallic crystal of
pyrite prominently perched in a characteristic calcite matrix!!! The pyrite crystal measures nearly 1cm and
exhibits a complexly modified habit with
sharp, brilliant faces!!! Classic old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We
just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come
in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke
(acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
