For a long time, my favorite in my collection. This incredible Russian pyrite, I call the "Crown of Russia". The crystals are large, well terminated and very iridescent. This is the best pyrite from a production in Borovichi around 20 years ago. Borovichi is known for the coal but apparently also iron sulfide.
