8fbdjr ((PYRITE on QUARTZ)), $10 MINIMUM BID, Butte, Montana, 9 x 4.5 x 3 cm, Cabinet | |
The Quartz crystals are terminated, undamaged, and transparent. On the Quartz are secondary Quartz on Quartz crystals and some lustrous Pyrite. Most of the Pyrite is actually hidden in the Quartz but one Pyrite cluster does perch on the Quartz crystals. At the recent Butte show, I was fortunate in picking up some examples of local Butte specimens. Butte is highly collectable and becoming more and more only available out of collections. |
