FEATURED ITEM $30 Min Bid - sh PYRITE on HEMATITE, Four Metals Mine, Bullion Canyon, Tooele County, Utah, 4.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm | |
Pyrites at this location are generally in a clay that falls apart when wet. Because of this matrix specimens are uncommon. The Pyrite is also sometimes associated with specular Hematite. On this specimen the Pyrite crystal is actually on a matrix composed of Hematite and so is stable unlike the clay matrix. This is a lustrous undamaged excellent Pyrite crystal on matrix. This is an uncommon specimen and excellent miniature from this location. |
