Complex, almost round shaped single Pyrite crystal that is nearly a floater with just a small area on bottom
that intergrew with clay (there are some crystallized faces on the bottom). Numerous small trigonal indentations are
present on the surface. The whole crystal is covered by a thin layer of black Chalcocite. I have only seen one parcel of these for sale,
with this mine gaining more fame every year, who knows, a future classic?
