Iron Pyrite

This is iron pyrite (Fool's Gold) and crystal quartz. The field of view is just under a half inch. I used the same undiffused lightsource as the last post so the specular highlights are all blown out. This was collected near the bottom of the Colisseum Mine (a huge open pit mine located in the mountains west of the dry lake bed between Primm and Nipton Road).
