An oustanding old time example of pyrite from Elba, Italy!!! This specimen consists of a pair of large, intergrown
pyrite crystals that exhibit characteristic "Iron Cross" twinning!!! The crystals have brilliant metallic luster with sharp, complexly modified
faces!!! The "Iron Cross" twinning is sharp, pronounced, and dramatic!!! The specimen is in magnificent condition and displays fantastically in person!!!
Simply a gorgeous old time beauty and display piece from Elba!!! This specimen is from the collection of Florence Mecke and retains her original
label as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
