Marcasita.
17EH11: Marcasita
Floater aerial aggregate of small, extraordinarily lustrous Marcasite crystals with very sharp 'sperkise-type' twinning. The specimen comes from the prolific Bou Nahas Mine in Morocco, a polymetallic hydrothermal deposit developed along faults and fractures where a variety of sulphides have been deposited, including Marcasite.

Marcasite.
EQ14AM3: Marcasite
Floater aggregate of small Marcasite crystals with the twin law known as "sperkise", very sharp, and with extraordinary luster. This specimen clearly preserves cavities with the geometric shapes of vanished crystals, probably Baryte.

Marcasite.
JFD64AN9: Marcasite
The Bou Nahas mine exploded onto the world collecting scene relatively recently. This Marcasite is phenomenal, with a multitude of crystals, all with Sperkise twinning, which are grouped together forming a very sharp and aesthetic elongated column. Since the mine started operating not many years ago, it is not yet possible to know for certain how well these marcasites will be preserved, but at the moment they do not seem to show signs of decomposition. This piece was published in Lapis magazine, 03/2014, page 26, and in the book 'La Guide des Passionnés' by Julien Lebocey (Le Règne Minéral) on page 103

Marcasite with Chalcopyrite.
EK67W2: Marcasite with Chalcopyrite

They are extraordinarily bright, with small disphenoidal crystals of Chalcopyrite, and have skeletal forms, especially on the back side of the sample, that reveal holes left by former tabular crystals, probably Baryte.

Marcasite with Dolomite.
JFD07AN5: Marcasite with Dolomite
Reocín Marcasite is dangerous because it tends to decompose relatively easily, especially in humid climates like Barcelona's. For some reason this piece has remained 'healthy' despite the many years it has resided in my collection. I do not know whether the Dolomite, pinker than usual in Reocín, has anything to do with its good preservation, but the fact is that here it is, resisting the passage of time quite nicely.
Reocín Mine, Reocín, Comarca Saja-Nansa, Cantabria  Spain (±1985)
Specimen size: 5.4 × 4.3 × 3.7 cm = 2.13” × 1.69” × 1.46”

Price: [SOLD]

TA57AH7: Marcasite with Pyrite and Calcite-Dolomite
Very sharp isolated Marcasite aggregates with the typical “cockscomb” shape. They have very well defined faces and edges and are implanted on a polycrystalline Fluorite growth with Siderite.
That sample from the Alain Martaud collection came from François Lietard (Minerive) and we will send both labels to the buyer.

Marcasite with Siderite and Muscovite.
JFD50AN8: Marcasite with Siderite and Muscovite
Marcasite is a mineral with a bad reputation since it is less stable than other iron sulphides, but the vast majority of Marcasites from Panasqueira are very stable since they are not usually pure marcasites but epitactic intergrowths of Arsenopyrite-Marcasite and that gives them great stability. This particularly elegant specimen is very well preserved despite the number of years I've had it and despite the fact that I live in a city with very high humidity, which does not help the conservation of sensitive species.
Minas da Panasqueira, level 0, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro  Portugal (12/2014)
Specimen size: 7.2 × 5.4 × 3.1 cm = 2.83” × 2.13” × 1.22”

Minas da Panasqueira, level 2, Aldeia de São Francisco de Assis, Covilhã, Castelo Branco, Cova da Beira, Centro  Portugal (±1982)
Specimen size: 6.6 × 5.7 × 5 cm = 2.60” × 2.24” × 1.97”
