A classic example of the symmetric pyrite cubes that the Victoria Mine is known for. The intergrown cubes are positioned excellently for an beautiful display. Like most pieces from this locale, the cubes have been glued onto the original limestone matrix and stabilized, though all of it is natural and the pyrite is situated as it was when it came out of the mine. This is a specimen that adds instant character to any display case.
(Side note: for the stability of the matrix, it's important not to let the limestone get substantially wet.)
