The top side of this matrix is covered with golden lustrous thin bladed crystals of pyrrhotite now replaced by crystallized pyrite. Some of these crystals measure to 3.0 cm in size. Impressive pseudomorph specimen from this famous locality. Very slight micro-chipping present but overall in good condition.
