Description
A magnificent specimen where several pyrite octahedrons are combined together in a most aesthetic way! As a bonus, sphalerite and an accessory unidentified white clayey mineral are encrusting some faces of the octahedrons! The white mineral exhibits no reactivity to hydrochloric acid, thereby excluding calcite as a plausible identification. The miner of the specimen has posited it as crandallite although this assertion must be treated with care as no definite analysis has been undertaken to the extent of our knowledge. Overall, a truly magnificent specimen from the world famous Huanzala mine in Peru!
