An amazing pyrite concretion from a new Chinese find. This striking, flattened shale ball has parallel bands of sparkly pyrite microcrystals on the sides and is solid banded pyrite on the bottom. The shale ball looks like a hand-woven basket or clay pot with a very intricate, stylized pattern on the "lid".
