SHARP pyrites draped by lovely contrasting calcite on the back and top. BETTER IN PERSON! 2.6 x 2.2 x 1.8 cm
Superb , sharp, edge-modified sphalerite perched on a pyrite ball! MUCH better in person. 2.7 x 2 x 1.9 cm
All you collectors of Colorado minerals, gather around. This fascinating specimen of pyrite features a crystal with unusual distorted, flattened, step -like terminations, and mirror bright luster. In addition, it once was part of two fine mineral collections, colorado specialist E. Mitchell Gunnell and later Richard Hauck. 6 x 5 x 2 cm
An EXCELLENT and AESTHETIC combination specimen from the famous, ONE-TIME find at the Huanzala Mine in 1980 of gemmy, water-clear, pastel-pink with green centers, octohedral fluorite crystals associated with lustrous, brass-yellow pyrite cubes and black sphalerite nicely perched on matrix. The front and back are viewable on this fine piece. All of the pyrite cubes are pristine and you hardly notice that the small fluorite cube on the upper right has a corner cleaved off. Fluorites from this find are some of the world"s most sought-after fluorites from any locality. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 4.6 x 4.5 x 2.9 cm
This combo piece features several cubes of fluorite, to 2.8 cm across , which have been coated by drusy, lustrous pyrite crystals. All this is aesthetically perched on a lustrous, radiating knoll of quartz crystals, reaching 1.0 cm across. COMPLETE ALL AROUND and brighter in person! An unusual yet interesting Moroccan piece! 5.1 x 4.5 x 4.3 cm
Yes, good pyrites DO come from Texas, and this is one! It is a floater ball, with beautiful triangular forms all around it, and a smaller ball perched right on top! ex Ruggiero collection 3.7 x 3.7 x 3.1cm
This is an old pyrite specimen from the 70''s, with amazingly sharp, lustrous and beautifully-formed crystals! The largest measures 3.5 cm. The faces of the crystals have very fine striations which add to the beauty. ex Ruggiero collection 5.3 x 4.7 x 3.9cm
A showy mounded specimen of lustrous, preferentially hematite-tinted, doubly terminated calcite crystals to 1.7 cm with pryite cyrstals on massive pyrite matrix from the Gloria Mine of South Africa. Scattered damage to a few crystal tips and one small area are certainly not detracting from this two-sided piece. 5.7 x 4.7 x 4.5 cm
An OLD-TIME specimen of RICH silver ore from the famous Lone Star Mine of Mohave County, Arizona. Lustrous lathes of platy silver rest in a groundmass with lustrous, striated pyrite crystals. The piece comes with two, old labels, one of which, is attached to the specimen. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 5.7 x 4.0 x 3.8 cm
A spectacular combination of bright, brassy pyrite crystals with gemmy, slender quartz crystals! A real beauty, out of the Hauck Collection. 7.9 x 6.4 x 4.7cm
French Creek pyrites are very scarce on the market. This one, out of the Hauck Collectoin, has a couple of STRIKINGLY sharp and shiny octohedral crystals on it - to one centimeter across. Obviously an old specimen . . . 5.5 x 5.4 x 3.7cm
Another rare American pyrite from the Hauck Collection. This is a perfect, shining cube still embedded in matrix, and old Vermont specimen. The crystal measures 1.3 cm. 4.2 x 3.6 x 2.6cm
A SUPERB and AESTHETIC, highly striated, bright brass-yellow pyrite cube nicely perched on calcite matrix from the famous Quiruvilca Mine of Peru. The pyrite crystal is contacted on the back, but is mostly out of sight. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 3.4 x 2.3 x 2.1 cm
A BEAUTIFUL, SUPER-SHARP, brilliant brass-yellow, 1.8 cm, pyrite octohedron with unusual, modified corners nicely set with smaller octohedrons from the famous Huanzala Mine of Peru. A few sphalerite crystals add character. Super trivial edge bruise to the large pyrite. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 3.8 x 3.3 x 3.0 cm
An EXCELLENT, OLDTIME and aesthetic cluster of pristine, lustrous, brass-yellow pyrite cubes on massive sphalerite matrix from the famous French Creek Mines of Pennsylvania. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 3.9 x 3.1 x 2.3 cm
