Pyrites pour from Peru by the ton, but 99% of them are mediocre. The other 1%, on the other hand, are very desirable, and you will find them in the best collections. The crystals on this specimen have the absolute top mirror-luster you ever see in a pyrite; and not only that, they have beautiful striations on the faces and bevels on the edges that add to their beauty. The crystals measure to 2.5 cm across. 6 x 5.5 x 3.8 cm
