The pics do not begin to capture the INCREDIBLE golden mirror-brightness of these pyrite crystals! They have gorgeous sharp form and beautiful striations on their faces. The larger crystals (to 4.5 cm) sits on a plate of massive pyrite covered with sparkly microcrystals, giving the specimen a pretty two-generation appearance. Despite the flood of cheap pyrites that come from Peru, the truly exceptional ones like this are still HIGHLY desirable and deserve a place in fine collections. BETTER In PERSON! 16 x 14 x 6 cm
