A BEAUTIFUL and AESTHETIC, two-sided, fan-like specimen of radiating clusters of lustrous, very sharp and brassy marcasite crystals from the famous Resselaer Quarry of Indiana. Marcasites from this locality are stable and make for great specimens of the species. This well-known quarry is now closed and flooded. MUCH BETTER In PERSON. Ex. George Feist Collection #3119.
