I can't say enough about the gorgeous crystallography expressed in this specimen of pyrite. The isolated, smaller single crystal at the edge of the specimen could be in a textbook for its formal perfection'; the hexagonal faces on this dodecahedron are perfectly symmetrical. The other crystals are highly modified and wonderfully architectural. All the crystals are beautifully isolated on the matrix of sparkly quartz crystals. Yes, there is a lot of mediocre pyrite out there, but really good specimens such as this remain highly desirable. 7.1 x 5.1 x 4.5cm
