Description

Fantastic combination from the Turt Satu in Romania. The base of golden lustrous pyrite is hosting about seven crystals of well developed and fine coloured amethyst. They are poking out inbetween the pyrite in all different directions which looks just amazing in person. Some tiny quartz crystals inbetween the pyrite give the last cherry on the cacke.
