Item Description

Mirror-bright, brassy, pyrite cuboctahedrons are aesthetically intergrown on this striking and impressive 360-degree miniature from this famous mine. The dramatic crestal compound crystal is 3.7 cm across. Essentially pristine, except for one tiny edge bruise. Specimens of this very highy quality reiterate why Huanzala is considered one the world's greatest pyrite localities.
