Pyrite altering to Limonite with Quartz King Co., Washington 4.8cm x 3cm x 3cm Ex. Florence Mecke Collection Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A classic example of pyrite and quartz from Washington!!! This specimen consists of a group of complex, octahedral crystals of pyrite altering to limonite prominently perched on a pair of sharp, undamaged quartz crystals!!! The pyrite crystals appear to be altering to limonite, which gives them an almost copper-like appearance!!! The crystals are complexly modified octahedrons that measure up to 1.4cm!!! The specimen is in fantastic condition all around and displays terrifically in person!!! This handsom specimen is rather unique in comparison to the more typical material seen from this locale!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
