Another Gene Meieran specimen, and again, you can see why he had it in his fine collection, even though it is "just" a Peruvian pyrite. A small percentage of them are just SO aesthetic - this one, for example, has these wonderful deep striations on the faces of the crystals (the largest is over 3 cm on edge), and bevels on the crystal edges. There is a ding on the back corner away from the display face, so it does not really matter much. The way the big crystal is nestled amongst the smaller ones - well, I think you can see why I think this is a cut above the quantities of pyrites coming out of Peru. 6.0 x 5.1 x 4.3 cm
