However, we were still fortunate enough to be able to aquire a few specimens from the region.

Pyrite & Quartz Face (From Our Private Collection)
$3,250.00
Learn More

When we came across this unusual specimen, the first thing we saw was that when placed in an upright position it looks like the face of a Conquistador! So unusual, we had to put it in our private collection. But, now that we've enjoyed it for some time, we've decided to make it available for a nice new home. The Pyrite development blends perfectly with the quartz 'face'. Even the small natural fault line is perfect, giving the piece an appearance of a mouth. A display stand is of course included.

A very cool & unusual piece, in our opinion.
