Superb little piece, perfect and aesthetic from Missouri. The calcites are of a pretty color, very bright, with a beautiful shine, harmoniously arranged on their matrix of crystallized Pyrite / Chalcopyrite.
Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
The mineral is not glued to the base (soft putty).
