Interesting, near-floater crystal of pyrite from the classic old location of Rio Marina on the Island of Elba. These mines have been producing pyrite for hundreds of years and this is certainly a well-formed one of classic style! The top half of the crystal is a large-faced pyritohedron, nicely formed with bright luster and sharp edges. The bottom half of the crystal is complexly terminated, still with bright luster but almost flat, with many stepped crystal faces. A very nice pyrite from this great Italian location. Old Ward's, Scott Williams Minerals Co., and Hauck collection labels accompany the piece.
