Description:An unusually shaped and very showy pyrrhotite specimen from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia. The steep, mountain peak-like cluster actually extends upward from a single, pseudohexagonal pyrrhotite crystal. The complete all-around piece has classic, bronzey-brown lustre and has the very nifty accent of scattered balls of bladed siderite. This piece is a doubly terminated floater, as there are also tiny siderite balls on the bottom of the piece. Old-time material from the 1960s or 70s. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
