Pyrite

This specimen is an excellent example of the combination of spherical pyrite nodule with a cluster of pyrite crystals attached.The Port au Port Peninsula, on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland has become a prolific producer of mineral specimens, in recent years. One of the most interesting is the occurrence of pyrite nodules and crystals in the shales of West Bay, Tea Cove, Lead Cove, etc.  Great looking and interesting piece!
