Description:A very nice representative display specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, metallic golden Pyrite pyritohedra on rather lustrous, white Dolomite matrix. The Pyrite crystal group measures 3.0 cm across, and is virtually undamaged all the way around. An attractive hand sized piece from a mine that is probably best known for its Calcite specimens. A good piece to add to a Chinese suite, or even more specifically a suite of specimens from Daye!
