Here is an unusual specimen from a mine that specializes in producing
oddities.
This specimen has a cluster of pseuomorphed pyrrhotite
crystals resting on the edge of a thin plate of quartz crystals. The
pyrrhotites have been replaced by pyrite, which is visible as hundreds of
tiny cubic crystals that have retained the overall form of the pyrrhotite.
