Two attractive complex balls of Pyrite crystals set beautifully against a black shale matrix. The larger ball is about 3.7 cm across, and the smaller perfect sphere is 1.9 cm across. Both are composed of modified cubes, and have excellent metallic luster. Very unusual material! Charlie Key must have loved it, as he bought a flat of it decades ago and put it away.
