An old-time, showy combination specimen of sharp, beautifully striated, lustrous, brass-yellow pyrite crystals to 1.2 cm scattered on a sculptural matrix covered with frosted quartz crystals to 4.0 cm. Ex. Mullane Collection and comes with 3 labels, all saying "Horner, Colorado." My brief research shows no Horner, Colorado locality, but there is a Horner Prospect in Taos County, New Mexico. The Horner Prospect in New Mexico is located in the northern part of the state, very close to the Colorado border, but is definitely on the New Mexico side.
