Pyrrhotite, Siderite
Santa Eulalia District, Mun. de Aquiles Serdan, Chihuahua, Mexico
Small Cabinet, 5.6 x 2.8 x 2.4 cm
SOLD
An unusually shaped and very showy pyrrhotite specimen from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia. The steep, mountain peak-like cluster actually extends upward from a single, pseudo-hexagonal pyrrhotite crystal. The complete-all-around piece has classic, bronzey-brown luster and has the very interesting accent of scattered balls of bladed siderite. This piece is a doubly terminated floater, as there are also tiny siderite balls on the bottom of the piece. Old-time material from the 1960s or 1970s. Ex. Consie Prince Collection.
