Pyrite with Calcite
specimen number:
4691019
location:
Sweetwater mine, Viburnum Trend, Reynolds Co., Missouri, USA
description: Cubic crystals of pyrite measuring to 2.0 cm in size across the front of this matrix and accented nicely with colorless mostly gemmy and lustrous crystals of calcite. Minimal cleaving present to some of the calcite crystals as seen, this mainly confined to the backside of the specimen and overall I think this in good condition. This is quite unique for the locality, nice for the species from here.
Size: 14.0 x 11.0 x 11.0 cm (cabinet)
