Item Description

Striking, sharp, mirror-bright metallic modified pyrite octahedrons are dramatically intergrown on this impressive and excellent mounded small cabinet from a NEW FIND at the famous Huaron mines. The crowning doubly terminated octo is 2.6 cm and the partialy coated DT octo on the end is 3.3 cm tall. The rich dusting of tiny snow-white calcite botyroids (light pink fluorescence) and scattered tiny sphalerite crystals are super accessories. This mesmerizing piece has three fine display views and the trivial bit of noted bruising and contacting have very minimal impact to the exceptional quality of this combination specimen. Valued at $500-750.
