Pyrite with Galena
An odd and very hefty cluster of Pyrite from the Blackstone Mine that shows incredibly sharp, stepped features across the top side of the specimen, most of which are highlighted with small amounts of negative space; the rear view of the specimen shows a well-defined alluvial-shaped growth with an almost fern-like curvature on the left side. The Pyrite has a slightly darker shade of brass and a nice metallic sheen that nicely complements the cluster's geometric topography. To the left side of the front view are small groups of cubic Galena crystals that are woven amongst some of the Pyrite. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
