Interesting Pyrites

A group of interesting little pyrites.  While not especially expensive, I thought they were interesting or cute enough to merit being posted, even though they are not necessarily the show pieces of the previous update.  I combed through thousands pieces that a dealer had been accumulating from various purchases over a period of a couple years. After about a 1.5 hours and some cut up fingers, I had put together a decent lot. Upon returning home, I went through my selections again to narrow down a few that I thought were particularly interesting for one reason or another. 

I think what struck me most, is that in contrast to a bulk lot of (for example) quartz crystals were 90% just look like standard quartz, these pyrites showed a lot of variation in habit and appearance— the more I looked, the more interesting stuff seemed to pop up.  With that said, I am going to try my best to limit myself to 3-4 pictures of each one, or this could become a very very long page.  

I thought this would be a fun update, and I figured, instead of just going on Etsy or somewhere else to become someone’s “pocket rock”, they have a chance at a better life with you more serious people.  Many of these would actually look quite “fancy” on one of the 1” or 2” bases
