This is a compound crystal of pyrite from the very obscure Spanish locality of Ambasaguas; the vast majority of Spanish pyrites you see on the market are the pristine cubes from Navajun. This is completely different in form and even surface character. You have these very complex modifications of the cube all the way around - this is a floater - and, a strange scaly-looking terracing on certain of the faces. Interesting!
