Pyrite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
Pyrite is not the most common mineral in the Panasqueira mines, but from time to time curious samples like this one have been found, formed by a group of very lustrous cubic crystals of Pyrite on a matrix of white Calcite which creates a nice contrast. In excellent condition.
