Summary

Description
English: Pyrite
Locality: Schoharie County, New York, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
An exceedingly rare specimen for New York I would think: a huge, floater pyrite cluster, with massive intergrown crystals with a silky golden luster. This came out of a collection labelled only as NY. From field-collector Val Collins in NY: I strongly believe that this pyrite cluster is from what we refer to as the I-88 Interstate hgwy quarry that existed for construction purposes for a year or two , back in the 1980's, near Schoharrie, New York. Clusters and nodules up to 12 inches were collected. The quarry site was backfilled and replanted as to NYS Encon requirements. However there is a second site, in a cut through Shale in the Schoharrie Creek in which mostly smaller nodule clusters to a couple of inches, are still collected to day. Much harder to get complete nodule or crystal clusters from this location. 5.4 x 3.3 x 2.8 cm
