PYRITE, HEMATITE

Perhaps one of the most valued objectives of the mineral collector is that the specimen crystals must be on a matrix. For these specimens of Elba, pyrite crystals are disposed very aerial on a brilliant hematite matrix. It is not always usual find specimens from this Italian mining area placed on the matrix. Pyrite crystals show pyritohedron classic forms with complex growths on faces and interpenetrating groups. Their luster and gold color is good and they show defined faces and edges. An excellent opportunity to have a sample from this classic locality. THE MAIN CRYSTAL IS: 3.9 x 3.8 x 3 cm.
