Wow! Unique specimen featuring yellow Calcite crystals perched inside a Pyrite Nodule!
One of the craziest specimens I've seen from the Sweetwater Mine, this is literally half of
a hollow Pyrite nodule which is completely concave. Two perfect golden Calcite crystals made
their home inside this unique setting, with the horizontal crystal in the foreground being doubly
terminated. An older specimen, this is one of those specimens you'll probably never see twice.

AMAZING! Exceptional pillar of Calcite crystals climbing up and out of a brilliant Pyrite vug!
One of my favorite specimens from this year's show! This specimen is an eye catcher the minute you see
it and I've also never seen anything like it from Chihuahua. The specimen resembles a geode of brilliant
pyrite crystals but is actually a mineral pocket or vug because there is NO matrix. It's ALL Pyrite. Solid
Pyrite all the way through with a dazzling, lustrous, mirror-bright lining of pristine Pyrite crystals which
measure to 2.5 cm in size. From the deepest part of the vug rises a nearly 9 cm pillar of white Calcites,
spraying out in all directions. The Calcites are perfect and terminated, matching the pristine nature of
the entire specimens. This is a major Mexican classic and would be a centerpiece in any collection.
