Item Description
A classic Pyrite specimen from the famous Camp Bird mine featuring sharp, lustrous, metallic, golden pyritohedral crystals up to 1.5 cm. The luster is bright on the piece, and is nearly crystallized on all sides. Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of the piece is the fact that it has light pistachio-green color Epidote on the base, which is a perfect indication of its origin. One of the very few pieces of this sought after material that I have offered from the Camp Bird.
