08edd30x - Pyrite on Quartz - $ 7950 SOLD Morococha, Yauli Province, Peru cabinet, 10.4 x 8.7 x 5.2 cm ex. Dr. Edward David ex. Dr. Miguel Romero
Wow...what more can you say than the pics convey? this pyrite is PRISTINE all around front and sides, contacted only on the back out of view. The quartz is pristine and complete all around. It is 3-dimensional, dramatic, and just plain unique in overall combinatorial aesthetics! I love the secondary ntricate faces on the pyrite, and how they reflect light in person to make this appear even more starkly metallic against the contrasting matrix. Gene Schlepp obtained this from the Dr. Miguel Romero Collection in trade. Gene then sold it to Ed with whom it has remained. Yes it is pricey as heck, no question. But its also damned good and stands out from other Peru pyrites like a Sweet Home rhodo in a collection of other red rocks. Previously (mis)labelled as Pasta Bueno, but this has been corrected now.
3D23 - Pyrite - $ 95 SOLD Barger Quarry, Lexington, Jessamine County, Virginia, USA thumbnail, 1.5 x 1.4 x 1 cm ex. Marilyn Dodge
Very attractive, nearly complete highly modified single crystal of Pyrite. What is remarkable about this pyrite is that the larger faces have a center zone of brilliant luster with the faces rimmed by a zone of ‘brushed’ luster. This may not be unusual for many minerals, but I have never seen this before on a pyrite. This makes it a unique and attractive specimen.
3D29 - Pyrite - $ 95 SOLD Tsumeb, Otjikoto Region, Namibia thumbnail, 1.5 x 1.3 x 1 cm ex. Marilyn Dodge
How often do you find a Pyrite that has survived Tsumeb? They were very rare, there. The striations and patina on this mostly complete set of intergrown crystals is truly stunning. A beauty of an unusual Pyrite.
3D40 - Pyrite (Iron Cross Twin) - $ 150 SOLD Wyoming Mine, Red Cliff, Eagle County, Colorado, USA thumbnail, 1.5 x 1.4 x 1.3 cm ex. Marilyn Dodge
Highly lustrous and complete all the way around save for one small area, this is an excellent example of a habit of Pyrite is hard to find.
3D57 - Pyrite - $ 75 3460 Level, Magma Mine, Superior, Pinal County, Arizona, USA thumbnail, 3 x 3 x 2.4 cm ex. Marilyn Dodge
Complex intergrown cubes that are highly modified by stepped growth on most of the faces. Excellent luster and good brassy color.
