Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent, old time example of pyrite from Weehawken!!! This specimen consists of a diabase matrix that
hosts numerous sharp, octahedral crystals of pyrite liberally strewn across its broad face!!! The pyrite crystals are very sharp octahedrons with
brassy metallic brilliance!!! There are individual crystals as well as groups of intergrown crystals as well!!! The crystals protrude prominently from
the matrix and the specimen is quite showy and flashy in person!!! This specimen retains an old, unattributed label that notes that the specimen was "collected Sept. 1895" and there
is an affixed catalogue label as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 28th!!!
