A really aesthetic and superb plate of bright, shiny, tiny pyrite crystals surrounded by larger pyrite cubes to 1.0 cm from Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport in Texas. This locality is now extinct, as runway expansion obliterated the stream bank, where these were found in a shale layer. Ex Ed Ruggiero Collection, who purchased this piece in April, 1975. 6.8 x 4.9 x 1.4 cm
