description:
Interesting specimen showing small cubic crystals of pyrite placing now gone scalenohedral crystals of calcite hollow casts. The pyrite crystals are in turn replaced by goethite. Some multiple pseudomorph episodes have taken place on the specimen. Crystals of barite are then scattered richly throughout. This neat and unique specimen is in great condition.
