This is a superb specimen from the famous Huanzala Mine in Peru, combining bright metallic Pyrite crystals with a blanket of fine needle Quartz. The contrast between the mirror-like golden Pyrite and the delicate white Quartz creates a piece that catches the eye from every angle.

The Pyrite crystals are exceptionally well formed, displaying the classic geometric faces and striations that make Peruvian material so highly regarded.
