674  Pyrrhotite
Dal'negorsk, Primorskiy Kray, Far-Eastern Region, Russia  
small-cabinet  5.6 x 2.6 x 2.2 cm

Dan Weinrich: The mining region of Dal'negorsk, some 300 km northeast of Vladivostok comprises 9 different deposits. The region has become one of the world's best producers for fine quality pyrrhotite. This neat specimen consists of stacked pseudo-hexagonal brassy crystals forming a tower-like grouping measuring 2.6 x 2.2 x 5.6 cm in size overall. Complete all around and terminated on top; minor quartz in association.
