An unusual and very desirable COLORADO specimen: a pyrite cluster that is SILVER in color due to a coating of molybdenite! The crystals are sharp and lustrous. It is quite strange to see a specimen of silver color that to the mind SHOULD be golden! There are hints of the golden color coming through here and there, adding attractiveness to the piece. 5.1 x 4.5 x 4.0 cm
