Description: Pyrite Locality: Huanzala Mine, Huallanca District, Dos de Mayo Province, Huánuco Department, Peru (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 3.2 x 3.2 x 3.0 cm. The Huanzala Mine of Peru has arguably produced the world’s finest pyrites and this Jaime Bird miniature is an outstanding example. A mirror-bright, brass-yellow, textbook pyrite octahedron rests on smaller pyrite crystals. The crystal is complete-all-around and has interesting, modified corners. Nearly pristine. Classic Huanzala material. Specimens of this quality came out in the 1970s and 1980s.
