Description/Interesting Notes:
A gorgeous example of pyrite from Mexico!!! This specimen consists of a showy cluster of sharp, cubic pyrite crystals in
association with a pair of crossed quartz crystals!!! The pyrite crystals have razor-sharp cubic form with sharply striated
faces and brilliant golden metallic luster!!! There are pyrite crystals present on both sides of the specimen and the specimen
is quite dynamic and showy in person!!! When I first saw this specimen I initially dismissed it as a Peruvian pyrite, however
this collection was heavy in Mexican material and I was surprised to learn that this Mexican locality produced many fine
pyrite specimens - they are just rarely seen today!!! Simply gorgeous in person!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
