Superb cluster of at least eight well-defined Pyrrhotite crystals resting on a matrix of excellent Sphalerite crystals and crystalline-to-massive Galena. The largest Pyrrhotite is 2.8 cm across with excellent luster and striations. The habit is fantastic, and to have the main Pyrrhotite sitting up on matrix in such an unusually isolated manner creates incredible aesthetics for this piece.
