Pyrite - altering to Hematite/Goethite
Green Monster Mountain, Prince of Wales Island, Prince of Wales Island
Alaska, United States
3.5 x 3.1 x 2.6 CM (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $90
Late Summer 2021
From the famed Green Monster Mountain (Alaska) a Pyrite crystal partially pseudomorphed by Iron Oxide species. This locale is well-known for fine Epidote but the Pyrite pseudos are seldom seen. The Pyrite on this has good somewhat iridescent luster on some faces. Several faces also have some fissures and and stepped zones. The pyrite form is distinct and the specimen seems to be solid and stable.
