Help improve this recordNo owner is registered for this specimen yet. If it's yours or you know more about it, you can add the owner, provenance, publications and other details.
Wormlike elongated clusters of splendent, brassy yellow pyrite totally cover a matrix of crystallized enargite, here. In some cases the pyrite clusters are at right angles to each other, standing out nicely and giving this a very 3-dimensional surface. In general, fine mineral specimens from Taiwan are uncommon and this is an extremely showy piece from a classic mine (now defunct). Ex Eugene Sensel collection, from David New in 1975
