Item Description

Two, mirror-bright, interpenetrating, brassy pyrite cubes are jauntily set atop scultpural clay matrix on this excellent and aesthetic specimen from the classic Spanish locality. The striking large cube is 2.2 x 2.2 x 2.0 cm. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, the large crystal is pristine, while the dinged corner on the secondary cube is totally out of sight. There is also a nifty negative impression on one end, where another cube once was. No repairs or glue backs on this fine piece. Classic material, common enough, but still a piece of cherrypicked quality I value highly. These make for stunning display specimens at a reasonable pricepoint.
