An unusual formation of pyrite are the known as Pyrite 'Suns', due to the bright golden color and the rays of
crystals that radiated out from the center like rays of the sun. These form in seams in slate and therefore grow
in a laterally compressed, radiating form. This is an excellent example and my last one. Great on both sides.
