This choice small cabinet Calcite with Pyrite is from the P?'bram Mining District in the Czech Republic and is dominated by two pyramidal scalenohedral crystals beautifully dusted with golden iridescent Pyrite. The slanting crystals lean towards one side, nicely displaying their complex growth structures composed from mm-size nail-head grey crystals. The Pyrite punctuates selected faces and provides a pleasingly aesthetic cap to the two main crystals.
