Calcite with Pyrite - \'Mercedes habit\' (Ref: 8.1-054)

Manoshan Mine, Dongpo, Suxian District, Chenzoh area, Hunan Province, China
88mm x 43mm x 41mm
Transparent Calcite crystals with distinctive "Mercedes" chevrons of Pyrite deposited on prism edges. This sort of selective deposit is quite uncommon and super esthetic. The Pyrite has an iridescent patina and contrasts with the glass-like Calcite faces that have no deposits at all. The outer edges have some cleavages but the center display area is clean, sharp and undamaged. Over the past two decades a few finds of this type have popped up, they are always small and no two are exactly the same in habit. This is an especially nice example.
