A dazzling combo piece from the Daye Mine! The pyrite crystal that crowns one end of the specimen is a total knockout - just stunning in its luster, form, and the way it sits up on the matrix like a jewel. On the other side of the specimen is a silky quartz crystal, wrapped with calcites and chocolate-brown hubeites. There is so much going on here - all of it pretty! Pyrite is very unusual for the locality and even more so in combination with all the other minerals there. This is a rare quality, in combination, and not just a combination if that makes sense.
