A fine druse of mirror bright, iridescent, pyrite has covered this specimen nearly completely, even around the sides of the matrix shard! The most obvious area is the coating on a 2.5 cm, doubly terminated calcite crystal. This is a fine and rare occurrence from Tasmania. BRIGHTER, and BETTER In PERSON
