Extremely aesthetic group of tan, barrel-shaped crystals that exhibit hoppered growth. Sitting on these larger crystals are slender acicular shaped pyros (The largest crystal is over 1.5cm. long). There is a small amount of sparkly sulfide matrix material which adds highlights to this piece. This is just a killer locality miniature, but more than that it is so unique and interesting in form that it really adds a lot to a pyro suite.
