With Display stand:3.2 ouncesOrigin: Randolph County Illinois (near Sparta)You will receive exact Pyrite Sun Disc as shown in PhotosPerfect for any room or OccasionAdd to your collection or start a new hobby.The disk-shaped pattern of the pyrite suns occurs because the weight of overlying sediment made it easier for crystals to grow laterally as opposed to vertically. This results in flattened (instead of spherical) pyrite concretions between the layers of shale.The area near Sparta, Illinois, appears to be unique in the entire world in hosting the largest known deposit of multi-inch disks. The pyrite suns at Sparta are found in Pennsylvanian-age rocks, approximately 300 million years old, 200 to 250 feet below ground in coal mines that extract the Herrin coal.Very nice Specimen as a gift for Pyrite collectors as well as yourself!!
