Description:An extremely unique and distinctive pyrite specimen, from the pretty much unheard of locality (for minerals) of Baffin Island. It is difficult to describe the crystal form - the pics will have to do; and as you can see, the form looks bizzarre. More like bournonite, than pyrite! Complex crystals like this came out of the locale through several collectors who worked there as mining engineers and geologists, by helicopter transport, in the late 1980s and early 90s. This is a fine example, and one seldom seen on the market today. It is thought that many of these are actually pyrit epseudomorphs after marcasite. Valued $400
