Stunning, mirror-bright, brass-yellow pyrite octahedrons with interesting, modified edges form a very aesthetic, complete-all-around specimen from the Quiruvilca District of Peru. The dramatic, large octahedron is pristine. The heyday of Quiruvilca was the early- to mid-1970s, which is the age of accompanying Roberts Minerals label. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
