1974 find, Ex. Norm Woods

Pyrite bar crystals from this location were only found once in 1973. This particular specimen is unusual in that there are multiple attached bar crystals orientated in different direcetions. There are striations on most of the sides of the crystals some of which are parallel to the length of the crystals and on other faces, perpendicular to the length of the crystals. Some of the surfaces are covered with small crystals.

Condition: Good

Flaws: One termination on eack of the two largest crystals are incomplete and are likely contact points. There is also a contact point on the side of the second largest crystal diagonal in orientation to the crystal which is a contact area where another, now missing, crystal was.
