A classic pyrrhotite specimen from Santa Eulalia, Mexico and the Consie Prince Collection. A complete all-around, pristine, tripod cluster of three, diverging columns of blocky, moderate luster pyrrhotite comprise this showy and excellent specimen. The sides of the columns have a very interesting, horizontal texture. The terminations have a striking highly lustrous, golden-brassy color. This is old-time Santa Eulalia material dating to the 1960s or early 1970s.
