Description
An interesting stalactitic crystallized pyrite, this completely covered by bright metallic lustrous blocky crystals of arsenopyrite measuring to 0.5 cm in size. Scattered throughout are crystallized rhodochrosite and quartz, as well as thin platy crystals of what were once pyrrhotite to 1.5 cm in size now replaced by crystalline pyrite. This is in really good condition all around.
