This one also from same locality as previous Cacoxenite. I entered this specimen in to our local (Milton Keynes Geological Society) annual 'best mineral' Competition - and won it....which meant I had to polish the shield for a year lol!!

Love the photos of the minerals, and more importantly, love the AVATAR!!!!!!
By the way, you can upload many more photos in one posting, just FYI.

| Description: |
| They may not be in the same league as pyrite from Navajun - but i guarantee not as many folks have these! collected from a Gold mine in Snowdonia, North Wales, the Pyrites crystals are about 1cm on edge. |
