A visually impressive and aesthetic specimen from Peru. A literal hedgehog of glassy, transparent quartz needles to 2.7 cm with a scattering of striated, bright brass-yellow pyrite cubes cover the sulfide matrix. This superb specimen is essentially pristine. It is very hard to find any broken crystals. Very choice material from the Lewadny Collection. 9.0 x 8.9 x 6.3 cm
