Item Description

Glittering, brassy, pyrite microcrystals have pseudomorphed a jackstraw cluster of sharp calcite scalenohedrons on this striking specimen from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of contacting at one end. Very nifty accents include both gemmy, amber calcites and snow-white calcite crystals. This is a rare, desirable and excellent pseudo from this noted locale and is seldom available in this quality. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
