Description:This is from a late 2010 find, of really bizarre etched-looking pyrites that seem to have formed as casts over an earlier generation of pyrite (or another species) which tehn dissolved away. They are skeletal and exquisitely complex when looked at closely, composed of flatlaying crystals in random patterning, with a 3-dimensional form. Bizarre things!
