An exceptional and aesthetic pyrite specimen from the historic iron mines at Rio Marina, Isle of Elba. A very sharp, complete all-around and pristine, lustrous, brassy, pyrite crystal is attached to a hodge-podge pile of poker-chip-like pyrite crystals. A splendent packet of contrasting hematite blades at the base is a fine accent. The iron mines at Rio Marina date to the Etruscans. This is superb material from this classic locale. Ex. A.L. Kidwell Collection and a note on his label states that he bought the piece in 1966 from an Italian.
