Unusual Pyrrhotite specimen composed of burt orange colored Pyrrhotite crystals (rather than the typical bronze, metallic color), slightly rounded Galena crystas,a nd Quartz crystals.
The color appears due to an alteration and not a surface coating as all the broken edges on the sides also show the same coloration.
