Sizeable, sharp pyrite octahedrons completely pseudomorphed by goethite. The crystals show a very good lustre and are crystallographically very pleasant. Contrastful, the crystals are grown upon crystalline milky quartz.

A very rich specimen, very aesthetic.

From my personal suite of Alpine oxidised pyrite.
