Dimensions: 9 x 5.8 x 13.3cm Locality: Huaron mine, Huayllay district, Pasco province, Peru. An architectural masterpiece! The pyrites are perfectly crystallized in a 360° pattern around a quartz crystal that serves as their base. The presentation is extraordinary. Among the thousands of pyrites from Peru that we have seen in 35 years of practice, few specimens are as aesthetically pleasing. Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
