From the mid-2000's, I remember this piece in particular. A crystallized grouping of pyrite almost 3.0 cm across is forming a hollow cast after a now gone cube octahedral crystal of galena. There are two yellow gemmy double terminated crystals of calcite measuring to 6.5 cm in size propping this up. In great condition. Very unusual and quite choice.
