Description from the seller

Magnificent specimen of pyrite from the famous deposit of Ambasaguas, La Rioja.

The specimen consists of a group of macled pyritohedra forming a large cluster. The set of crystals measures approximately 60x45x40mm, with the largest pyritohedron reaching a diameter of about 3cm.

As is typical in that deposit, the crystals display a spectacular and radiant shine.

The latest photos show a small bump sustained during the extraction tasks of the specimen.

A beautiful specimen to complete a collection of classic minerals.
