Striking Pyrite from Huanzala, one of the world's best localities for Pyrite. Each crystal has gorgeous, bright striated faces, with corners modified by the octahedron. The largest crystal is nearly 3.2 cm, and it rests on a matrix of perhaps a hundred smaller, equally brilliant, Pyrite crystals. The condition of the specimen, as well as the aesthetics, are superb. It is no wonder this was once in the collections of Marty Zinn and Herb Obodda.
