This pyrite specimen would not win any awards if it were Peruvian, but this is an old BUTTE piece, and therefore is good for what it is, quite aesthetic! What makes it pretty is that the pyrite crystals (which do have a fine brassy luster!) are intergrown with accenting areas of quartz crystals, which sets the pyrites off nicely. Ex. Feist Collection.
