Item Description

Shimmering bright metallic, brassy, striated pyritohedrons have pseudomorphed a dramatic 4.0 cm, narrow, upright cluster of parallel-growth pyrrhotite plates. The rose-like two-sided cluster rests atop a sculptural mounded matrix of more pseudos on sulfides. Scattered clusters of small tinted quartz points on both sides are fine accessories and contrasts. These unique style pseudos came out from the Noche Buena Mine over 30 years ago and are seldom on the market today. A must for the Mexico or species collector.
