Description
Very unusual specimen from this classic locality with a cluster of thin platy colorless calcite crystals hosting bright lustrous crystals of pyrite to 3.0 cm on edge. Completely crystallized all around with no points of attachment, the piece sits up perfectly by itself or display and I think is in superb condition. Unique and quite attractive.
