MFA87AP3: Pyrite with Calcite and Fluorite

Pineapple growth of deformed cubic Pyrite crystals with curvatures, striations and other growth forms, on matrix, with white rhombohedral Calcite crystals, and cubic Fluorite crystals which are transparent, with good luster and an intense yellow color. The specimen is not from the classic Moscona mine, but rather from the Villabona mines.

JFD153AO7: Pyrite with Calcite-Dolomite

Panasqueira pyrites are unmistakable. It is curious that such a common mineral can be assigned to one locality in such a recognizable way. Flattened cubes, rich in faces, with Calcite-Dolomite in many cases and that brass-like color, from ancient ore. It is nice what they call the pyrites in Panasqueira when they have this type of tones or they are oxidized: 'ferruginadas'

JFD200AP4: Pyrite with Calcite-Dolomite and Quartz

As those familiar with the deposit know, Panasqueira pyrites can be very good. This piece is a good example of this, with the crystal aggregate forming a very aerial pineapple on a Quartz matrix completely covered by small Calcite-Dolomite crystals and with the mold of another Quartz crystal on the back. Everything is quite perfect, without any dings, which is not very common in Panasqueira where, due to the operating conditions, it is very difficult to prevent pieces from being damaged. Luminous and showy, a very good Pyrite.

21TRM12: Pyrite, Calcite

Two generations of Pyrite crystals, an older generation of shiny crystals of cubic habit, one of them clearly dominant in the center, with marked curvatures on the edges and polycrystalline growths, and that has been partly covered by a tapestry of Calcite crystals with a fine outer layer of bluish tones.
