One of several SUPERB large pyrite specimens that came out of the recently-dispersed collection of Paul Jung. These are mirror-bright modified octahedrons, to 6.5 cm along the edge, with pretty cut-glass-like modifications on the faces. There are your basic pyrites, and then there are those rare ones that belong in a fine collection. If you are not jaded about pyrites, you have to admit that a great pyrite is about as eye-catching a mineral specimen as any in existence! 11 x 7 x 6 cm
