Calcite with Pyrite
specimen number:
1741050
location:
Huanzala Mine, Huallanca, Bolognesi, Ancash, Peru
description:
A spectacular large combination cabinet piece for this locality. Colorless to slightly pinkish thin platy crystals of calcite measuring to over 10.0 cm in size are aesthetically coming off a cluster of bright golden sharp lustrous pyrite crystals. Minimal cleaving is present to the calcite crystals, I think for something like this that is to be expected. In my opinion, this is in outstanding condition. Complete all around. The calcite crystals are incredibly red fluorescent under longwave ultraviolet light.
Size: 20.0 x 18.0 x 14.0 cm (large-cabinet)
