AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A fairly large pyritohedral floating pyrite cluster with good luster, complex surface textures and a small sprinkling of siderite crystals that act as nice accents in this specimen's composition. Pyrites from Ancash have long been held as the best of the Americas, and along with the Spanish pieces from Navajún, they hold the podium for the best in the world.
