This specimen has an incredibly nice Pyrrhotite crystal. The shape is hexagonal with steeply beveled edges. The surface has a high metallic luster with a bronze iridescence with a hint of red and is concentrically stepped. This crystal is perched on the edge of a stalactic shape covered with spiky little elongated Quartz crystals covered with tan colored Calcite crystals and some small, dark colored unidentified crystals. There are also a couple of small, twinned, white colored Calcite crystals resting on the Quartz crystals. Also, there are more Pyrrhotite crystals near the top of the specimen. Note: the bottom of the specimen appears to have been ground flat which allows the specimen to stand without support as depicted in the pictures.

Condition: Very Good to Excellent

Flaws: Nothing Appreciable
