Exemplary cluster of sharp, well-defined Pyrrhotite crystals with excellent brassy color, great metallic luster. The superb single is 1.5 cm long, doubly-terminated (one complete, one half due to intergrowth), while the complex 'stacked' crystal is about 2.5 cm long. Old classic for this locale, seldom so nicely formed, though. Regardless of size, this is unquestionably one of the most aesthetic Pyrrhotites I have ever come across.
