JU232 Quartz, Pyrite, Sphalerite

17.1x 9.9x 3.8 cm
$230
A very sparkly cabinet-sized plate of pyrite, quartz, and dark sphalerite, from Huaron. This piece was found several years ago; these days, due to increased mechanization, few specimens come from the mine.
It is better in person-- seeing a 17 cm specimen condensed into a 350 pixel image tends to make things look clustered...
