The shale has been carefully removed and the Pyrite discs have been cleaned to expose their unusual, symmetrical forms and bright metallic brassy to golden color on both sides.
All specimens are complete on both sides.
Length X width X thickness. The entire front of the specimen is coated with a very thin secondary growth of colorless, very sparkly, drusy Quartz crystals. More than 100 intergrown, small white scalenohedral Calcite crystals were deposited all over the back of the Quartz crystal group. Pyrite, the last mineral to form on the specimen, was deposited as more than 100 bright golden, to iridescent copper-red color pyritohedrons. All have interesting, natural irregular surface features.
