Description
A PERFECT, PRISTINE, mirror-like cube of pyrite well-exposed in the matrix, measuring 3 cm across. If you can get past the fact that you have seen them before and view them with fresh eyes, you have to admit that these razor-sharp Spanish pyrites are amongst the most amazing crystals in the mineral kingdom - people who do not know minerals can scarcely believe they are natural. 9.2 x 9.2 x 5.6cm
