PYRITE: Las Minas Pyrite Mine, Veracruz, Mexico - 2020 Production
The Las Minas Pyrite Mine* is a series of rocky outcrops located on a family farm deep in the mountains of Veracruz that have been mined by hand and small equipment since 2018. It produces fascinating small Pyrite specimens (99% under 5cm) that have been my primary collecting focus for the past 4 or 5 years.
This piece is from a lot of about 50 A-/B+ quality small pieces that I saved from material produced in 2020. Dubbed the \"pandemic pocket,\" it was a substantial find of high quality specimens, many of which featured a mellow iridescence and interesting secondary mineral associations including a white Baryte matrix, a dark, almost druzy dusting of Sphalerite and, less frequently, Galena & Quartz crystals.
The glass base in this video is 25mm square for size reference. Please message me if you need exact size & weight on any piece.
Ships with a clear glass base and fresh mounting putty - the perky base in the video is not included.
*This locality is not yet on mindat and various lots of this material have been brought to market labeled as: Cerro de la Concordia, Las Vigas, Tatatalia, Molinnillos, Piedra Parada, and others... It\'s all from the same place and the consensus name that has emerged over the past few years is to simply call it the Las Minas Pyrite Mine.
