A superb, sharp miniature with exceptional crystals of pyrite (rare for the County) which were replaced by the mineral limonite in perfect symmetry-preservation. These are very uncommon, and highly desired among county collectors. I am told that this is one of the very finest pieces from a small pocket found in the 1980s by mine owner Roland Reed.
