Description from the seller

Interesting specimen of pyrite from the famous site of Ambasaguas, La Rioja.

The specimen consists of a matrix where three groups of pyritohedrons rest, forming pinecones. The main group has a diameter of 35mm, the second 30mm, and the third 20mm. All of them are composed of pyritohedron crystals ranging from 5 to 15-20mm.

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