This specimen features a cluster of large, richly colored and beautifully crystallized rubies accompanied by lustrous pyrite which - much like the lustrous red of the rubies - contrasts brilliantly against the stark white marble . This rarity of a specimen carries the history of the world and mineralogy in its beauty. The cube in the picture is approximately one centimeter.
