Pyrite (ex. Gene Meieran Coll.)

Item Description

From the collection of noted collector Gene Meieran comes this great American classic, and a really EXCEPTIONAL one. These octahedral crystals have a golden mirror shine, and such wonderful form! This is essentially a knob that is complete all around, with attachment only on the bottom, so it is displayable from many sides. There are a couple of dings or pocket wall contacts on two crystal tips, but overall the specimen is in really good shape. And truly, this specimen competes with pyrites from Peru in aesthetics, though old Butte pyrites of high quality are infinitely less available than pyrites from Peru, mined by the ton.
