| 13ecganr ((PYRITE)), $30 MINIMUM BID, Bingham Canyon Mine, Bingham District, Salt Lake City, Utah, 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm, Miniature, | |
 | Here is a pyritahedron of Pyrite. It has some contact on the bottom where originally attached to another crystal. Faces and edges are in great shape. It is from a rare occurance about 4 years ago at the famous Bingham Open Pit Copper Mine in Salt Lake City when these were found. Many employees got a couple of these but highly prize them. Most have damage with a small percentage being undamaged. They did get to about 5 cm but the majority were smaller than 2.5 cm. This is a fine example of an uncommon Pyrite crystal from Bingham Open Pit. Also there was two forms: one with faces as this one: the other with hoppered oddly formed faces. |
