Calcite with Pyrite

Unknown Owner
Calcite, as both rhombohedral and equant nail-head crystals, covers an almost hexagonal gossany plate of micro-vuggy Calcite. The Calcite crystals vary in size enormously; the nail-head crystals ranging from 0.4 to 2.6 cm while the rhombohedral crystals are generally at the mm scale. Distributed amongst all the Calcite are sub-mm granular brassy-golden Pyrite crystals. A terrific Calcite with Pyrite from the P?'bram District in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic.
