This is an old Virginia pyrite with exquisite form that passed through the collections of Carlton Davis, John Medici and finally Bob Byers. It is a modified octahedral compound crystal with natural tip bevels, and little epitaxial growths of the same form on its faces. Hard to get, and very good for what it is.
