Description:Here is one of the more interesting new finds from around 2004 in Bolivia. Typically, Bolivian Pyrite is not found in attractive, displayable, well-crystallized specimens. This however is a shining example of the quality that can be achieved by Bolivia Pyrite. The specimen is virtually undamaged on the display side and is loaded with several sharp, trapezohedra modified by octohedra which is a rather uncommon crystal habit for this rather common sulfide. The largest crystal measures 9 mm across. All the Pyrite crystals are very bright and shiny, and the piece is in good condition for the material. An unusual crystal habit and nice quality to boot!
