Description from the vendor: "A floater sample of pyritohedral crystals, without any other accessory faces and with very well defined faces and edges. The luster is excellent. The time that has passed since it was mined seems to confirm that the piece is very stable because Sr. J. Amigó purchased it in 1994 and it remains unaltered. Ambasaguas, Logroño Spain (1994)"
