Item Description

A dramatic 3.5 x 3 x 2 cm crystal of pyrite showing wonderful parallel striations, perched smartly on a little cluster of slightly pink calcite. While pyrite is of course common, this is just such a gorgeous and proportional miniature, that it really stands out. Minor damage on back, complete on front display faces!
