This is a large, well formed, splendent, brassy yellow, cuboctahedron of pyrite. Very minor edge wear is of little consequence visually, though it is present. This is an important historical locality for many species, including such sharp pyrite crystals which were once considered among the most desirable on a worldwide basis. This is a particularly impressive single crystal, for sharpness and symmetry, for Mexico
