Pair of connected spheres of Pyrite with attached Calcite crystals. A lot of collectors like to collect spherical minerals, and here we two spheres connected together. The smaller sphere has one area broken revealing an inner core of Chalcopyrite, which likely comprised the interior of the other sphere as well. From an old Pyrite collection built in the 1970s-80s. Neat specimen and locality piece.
