Limonite pseudomorph after Pyrite (rare locality specimen)

Item Description

This is the only specimen we've ever had to offer from this locality that lies about 10 miles southeast of Asheboro, North Carolina. A group of well-formed, modified cubic crystals of Pyrite measuring up to 2.5 cm, have been completely pseudomorphed to Limonite. The piece is nearly a complete "floater", as there are only a few tiny points of attachment, and no real damage. I love the balance and aesthetics of the piece, with wonderful presentation featuring the main crystal sitting prominently at the top central portion of the specimen. A cool piece for any fan of minerals from the southern United States, a pseudomorph collector or a collector of rare localities.
