:) the last one to enter in my collection; I bought it at the Rouen show two weeks ago.
This pyrite crystal has absolutely mirror faces. You could shave or make up using it.
It is even better than the Spanish pyrites of Navajun.
The crystal faces show very thin growing patterns, but I was unable to capture that on the picture. It is better in person. Sorry for my poor photographic skill. I have made several trials.
