Item Description
This superb specimen of Chinese pyrite could hold its own with a good Peruvian specimen - though of course, coming from China, it is a whole different animal as compared to Peruvian pyrites mined by the ton. Pyrites of this quality from China are rare! It has the TOP mirror shine on its crystals (to 1.9 cm). There are just a few spots of edge-wear in the main display area; most of the damage is the normal stuff around the periphery from removal. Valued $300-400
