Description from the seller

Spectacular specimen of pyrite on matrix from the famous deposit of Ambasaguas, La Rioja.

The specimen features four crystal aggregates based on pyritohedra, ranging from several mm to 2–3 cm each. The main crystal measures 60–70 mm, the second about 50 mm in diameter, the third about 25 mm in diameter, and the fourth 20 mm in diameter.

The mirror-like, bright finish is characteristic of this locality. The unusually large overall size of the piece and, in particular, the main crystal, make this specimen a unique piece to complete a collection of classic localities.
