Description

Imposing, magnificent pyrite crystals in brilliant, high-quality lighters.

The back of the piece is covered with calcite crystals.

The largest lighter has a 7 cm edge. Other crystals reach 8 cm in edge. Really impressive. All in all, a fine piece for the locality.

The Niccioleta pyrite mine in Tuscany, Italy, closed in 1984, and is best known for the exceptional pyrite crystals that were extracted.

A few breaks are present.

Here’s a video of this imposing Italian pyrite:
