CCC18 Quartz, Pyrite with Sphalerite
Huanzala Mine, Huallanca District, Dos de Mayo Prov., Peru

$48
A nice combination specimen of ultra-lustrous pyrite, with quartz and sphalerite form the major find about 3 years ago at the Huanzala Mine. While pyrite from this mine is perhaps the most readily available mineral specimen on the planet, combinations such as this are quite rare. The main quartz crystal has a slightly odd termination, but it isn't broken.
