Pyrite, Calcite (Var: Manganoan Calcite)
This find was made a couple of years back in China, and is absolutely unique: glittery, golden pyrite microcrystals on the edges of huge (to over 9 cm across) crystals of pink manganoan calcite. Some of the specimens had very sparse coverage of pyrite, just a salting, but here, it is richly carpeting the crystal edges. The largest crystal on this excellent cabinet piece is 4.7 cm.
