Another find at the recent "Mini-Tucson" show. [...] This one came from an old collection and was in a dealer's "double-keystone" room. I usually don't spend much time looking at this sort of stuff as there's a reason that most of it is being offered at very inexpensive prices (at least by today's standards). Once in a great while there's an exception.
A wonderful exception, Jesse - lovely little specimen with a wonderful crystal and the pyrite matrix makes it even better!

Please mooooooore!!! :-)

Danke! I just feel lucky that I was in the right place to acquire a few things like this when they were still available! A little piece of mineral collecting history from around 50 years ago!
