Cubic and crystallized pyrite matrix with Marmatite and Quartz crystal cluster.

Some of the more important Colorado localities for specimens of well-crystallized pyrite include mines at cli- max, Gilman, Leadville, Rico, Ouray, Telluride, Creede, Alicante, Alice, and State Bridge. Specimens from each of these localities often have distinctive crystal habits and mineral associations.  The Eagle mine is probably best known for its pyritohedral Pyrite specimens. This cluster is a good representative Eagle mine Pyrite showing typical striated pyritohedra with sharp, lustrous faces plus some Marmatite opaque black iron-rich crystals.

This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
