A wonderful "ridge" of brilliantly lustrous Huanzala pyrite. This freestanding piece has very well formed, striated cubes on three sides, and some cubes have slight octahedral and dodecahedral modifications. This is a fine specimen that is beyond the average for the luster, the symmetry, and the crystal details of those fine lines etched onto the faces that make light reflect so brilliantly off many subfaces.
