A nice pyrite and green fluorite combination from the famed Climax Mine in Colorado. Besides being an important producer of Molybdenum this mine is well known by mineral collectors to have produced some excellent mineral specimens. Sadly mineral collecting in this active mine is not allowed and specimens rarely come to the market. Ex. Mel Bersch Mitch Abel 1978
