A large, lustrous, pristine and well formed, double sided pyrite 'sun'. These are found in between layers of slate near Sparta, Illinois and are midwest classics seldom seen in this size. This is out of an older collection and is in perfect condition. The flat, circular form with radial striations make these unusual and desirable Pyrite specimens.
