Unusual find, this one!!!
Pendant is a Pyrite Sun Black Shale matrix found in Sparta Illinois. Also called “miners’ dollars”, disk-shaped concretions of pyrite with minor amounts of marcasite. These are found in Pennsylvanian-age rocks, approx 300 million years old, 200-250 feet below ground in coal mines.
Pyrite sun is attached with supple mustard leather onto brass chain; 2- thin-sliced AB geodes flank the Sun. The Sun is more golden than what the camera captured.
Closure is a supple mustard deerskin leather with a slide bead, allows for longer or shorter lengths – your choice
This beauty weighs 4.32 oz (for reference, a standard can of pop/soda weighs 12 oz)
Overall length end-to-end: varies from approx 18-48 inches, add 3-inch pendant drop
When on, nape to chest: varies from approx 9-24 inches, add pendant drop
Pyrite Sun: approx 68x77x7 mm
Geode slices: approx 27x19x6 mm
