Description from the seller
Stunning marcasite or natural pyrite on a black slate matrix found in Holzmaden (Germany) in April 2026. Natural formation and not altered or cleaned to guarantee its natural authenticity. It often forms in sedimentary environments, as in this case, found in a quarry two meters beneath layers of fossil material. These samples may show circular formations called 'pyrite suns' or fossil inclusions.
