Item Description

Bright, sharp textbook pyritohedrons, to 2.7 cm, are aesthetically set on the hematite matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from the historic iron mines on Elba. The pyrites have classic, mirror-bright, brass-yellow color. The noted broken crystals have minimal impact to this highly representative old-time classic from an East Coast collection.
