3.2 x 3.2 x 2.9 cm. A sharp, textbook pyrite pyritohedron from the ancient iron mines at Rio Marina, Elba Island. The brassy crystal has mirror-bright faces. Complete-all-around, the contact is at the base and is out of sight. A classic and excellent pyrite crystal from this historic locale and the Jaime Bird Collection.
