TI07 - Pyrite on Hematite - SOLD
Rio Marina, Elba Island, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy
Size: 5.2 x 5 x 3.7 cm
 
The sharp, isolated crystal at the top of the piece is 35mm across and complete all around. The quality could not be better - the crystal shows intense color and mirror luster. In my evaluation this is still the most beautiful combination and the very best locality for pyrite world-wide. Unfortunately field-collecting is impossible there since many years and no new material can be expected. Hematite blades are shining and make an astonishing contrast with the gold colour of the pyrites. No significant damage to report.
