Pyrrhotites are now very common from Russia, but this is an old Santa Eulalia specimen (out of the Charles Hansen collection) and therefore a lot more notable. That big crystal measures 2.8 cm, a perfect hexagonal poker chip crystal, in a bed of smaller and partial crystals along with massive sulfides.
