A rich, dramatic cluster of mirror-metallic, golden pyrite octahedrons, with the larger crystals (to 2.5 cm) perched perfectly at the top of the specimen. In person, the crystals are a much richer gold than they appear in the photos, and the mirror brightness of the crystals is just astounding. Mediocre pyrites are common, but the really good ones are not! 14.4 x 7.9 x 4.6cm
