Here is one of the more interesting new finds from about 5 years ago in Bolivia. Typically, Bolivian Pyrite is not found in well-crystallized specimens. This, however, is a very fine specimen. The specimen is virtually undamaged on the display side and is loaded with dozens of trapezohedra modified by octahedra which is a rather uncommon crystal habit for this rather common sulfide. The largest crystal measures 1.1 cm across. All the Pyrite crystals are very bright and shiny.
