Comment: A DRAMATIC and very showy, CABINET pseudomorph specimen from recent finds in the Ronda Massif of Spain. Rust-red limonite pseudomorphs after sharp pyrite cubes comprise this complete all-around, FLOATER piece. The large, 4.0 x 3.6 cube is strikingly held up by two small pseudos! Pristine, except for one tiny, out of the way bruise. An amazing sculptural specimen, that looks like Cubist art!

Minerals: Limonite Pyrite (FeS₂)
