An exceptionally large, sharp and fine crystal of pyrite from Peru. Yes, Peru has turned out a lot of pyrites, but whoppers such as this are still outstanding and desirable! Now, it does have some damage to a few lower-facing corners and on the lower-back edge, BUT that being said it displays incredibly well from the front, and is truly impressive. I have really not seen a large peruvian crystal of this modified cubic habit, of this size before...amidst what, tonnes of material!? So, it has a few minor problems but is nevertheless not only showy but I think fairly significant 8.1 x 6 x 5.8 cm
