Pyrite, Hematite
This is one of the finest, most important, large pyrite specimens from Elba that I have seen. Two large, pentagonal dodecahedral (pyritohedral), lustrous, brassy yellow crystals, to 7.0 cm across, are perched high on matrix and associated with minor hematite. The two large crystals are absolutely pristine. Superb in every way, this is a very important classic and a very fine pyrite specimen as well. I have never seen the like, for sale, myself. I am told this is typical of the best material which came out in some special pockets both in the early 1900s and again in a find of the early 1970s. Weighs 1400 grams.
