Description
It is a nice specimen from an unusual locality showing lots of lustrous, iridescent marcasite crystals. Marcasite is a common mineral, but these kinds of iridescent nodules are very rare.
Please watch the video for a better view.
I am not quite sure when it was found, but I assume about 20-30 years ago. This one was a part of my father's display room, but I now release it for sale.
