Pyrite, Calcite (Var: Manganoan Calcite)
This find was made a couple of years back in China, and is absolutely unique: glittery, golden pyrite microcrystals preferentially deposited on the edges and faces of flattened, translucent, pastel-pink, manganoan calcite rhombs. The calcite rhombs reach 5.0 cm on this fine cabinet piece. Some of the specimens had very sparse coverage of pyrite, just a salting, but here, it is richly carpeting the crystal edges and faces.
