Description from the seller

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

The specimen features four crystalline aggregates based on aggregations of pyritohedrons 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, glossy finish is characteristic of this locality. The unusually large overall size of the specimen, and especially of the main crystal, make this piece a unique item with which to complete a collection of classic localities.
