PYRITE DOLLAR SMALL
A stunning Pyrite Dollar Small. This is a natural formation of Pyrite and something quite different to the usual more cubic looking varieties. Striations radiate out from the centre.

A great piece for the collector of unusual pieces. This Pyrite Sun comes with a perspex stand for display and looks even better in person. This size specimen is perfect for pendant jewellery making.

GALENA CLUSTER SMALL
GALENA CLUSTER SMALL
You don’t have to sacrifice quality for size as this Galena Cluster Small specimen shows. What a cool little piece, an interesting cluster with some skeletal and some twinned crystals. It will only take up a small amount of space in the collection, though I suspect front of shelf too. Galena is one of those really collectible metals that comes from a range of locations and in different shapes. I love the Bulgarian variety and you could have a whole collection of different ones from that location alone.
