This is a good study specimen with a lot going on. The Pyrite pseudo after the Pyrrhotite is the cool thing. You can see that perched at the top and the dimension is 9mm across. The only other place I have seen this is here in the Black Hills at the Double Rainbow mine. One shot you can see the hexagonal outline of the former Pyrrhotite. Also the Galena maybe a spinel twin and has alot of jet black, lustorus Sphalerite crystals all over it.
