I love that quartz with pyrite: https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/files/img_4436_145.jpg
I've seen it before (in one of Gail's reports, i think), but this specimen is always a pleasure to look at! How large is it?

It was behind plastic and set back quite a ways, so this could be off by a bit - but I will go with 10 cm +/- 3 cm ??

A few that I don't remember the theme to, but thought you'd enjoy anyway - mostly zircon, but one other in addition.

Apologies for this section. It is one of my favorites, but at the same time, the case is kept dark. The darkness made it difficult to photograph - i did the best I could.

This shows cat's eye and asterism effects as well as how they work.
