Collector's Piece: Iridescent Pyrite on Dolomite from Shangbao Mine, China

Dimension: 6.3cm x 7.4cm x 5.6cm

Weight: 191g

Locality: Shangbao Mine, Leiyang Co., Hengyang, Hunan, China

 

An exceptional cabinet specimen featuring a Dolomite matrix aesthetically topped with an interlinked layer of vitreous Pyrite crystals which display amazing rainbow iridescence.  Mined from a limited September 2020 find at the world class Shangbao Mine in China, the beauties of the piece are completely off the charts!  I've been lucky to be able to acquire around 15 pieces of the best.  The rainbow iridescent colors on the Pyrite are insanely vivid, ranging from very bright vivid lemon-gold to blue, red and pink, so eye-catching and mesmerizing!  The metallic Pyrite plate capped a creamy yellow Dolomite matrix, it is incredibly unique and sculptural. This is the only one piece in this lot that displays such a gorgeous Pyrite intergrown and the specimen is way more pretty in person.  Comes with a high quality acrylic display stand.
