:)Hey all, I know this doesn't have anything to do with tumbling but you gotta check this out. I bid for this on E-Bay, won it and it arrived today from Lima, Peru. It is Pyrite on Quartz and the Pyrite has oxide skin. Awesome s pecimen.

Wow that's really cool, is it as green as it looks in the pic? Looks like emeralds.

Wow they are bright! I love the colours you've got going on in there, all rainbowy and plenty of green and blue! Lovely rocks indeed! Thanks very much for sharing them with us. It's great to see the quartz and pyrite crystals in association, it's difficult to understand how they grow when you just get the golden bits! Cheers, Harry.
