JC3280.  Pyrite.  Canutillos Silver and Tin mine, Machacamarca dist (Colavi dist.), Saavedra province, Potosi department, Bolivia.  1 1/2" x 2 3/4"  132g.  $28.00.  Unusual, curved, octahedral crystals.  The specimen is pretty much without damage except for the peripheral areas where it was trimmed from the wall rock, and one crystal (about 3mm) near the very top, right center of the photo, where the left side has been cleaved.  Its very hard to see in the photo, and the specimen has to be looked at very closely to even spot it.  
JC320.  Pyrite.  Zacatecas, (Mina Noche Buena?), Mexico.  2 1/2" x 3"  542g.  $20.00 
JC275.  Pyrite.  Julcani, Angaraes Prov., Huancavelica Dept., Peru.  2" x 3"  152g.  $20.00
JC3046.  Pyrite pseudo pyrrhotite, pyrite, quartz.  Mina Noche Buena, Zacatecas, Mexico.  3" x 5"  >1000g.   $75.00.   A large specimen with numerous blades of pyrrhotite replaced by pyrite.  Most of them are sticking straight up out of the specimen, so they are hard to really see.  Probably collected in the 1960's.   Much better in person.
JC2864.  Pyrite.  Noche Buena mine, Zacatecas, Mexico.  2 1/4" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"  299g.   $30.00.   A mass of curved, cubic crystals.  These were mined about 1978.  I have also seen identical specimens like this labeled as Santa Eulalia.
JC2835.  Pyrite.  Julcani dist., Angaraes prov., Huancavelica dept., Peru.  1 3/4" x 2 3/4"  95g.  $25.00.   Cubes with a secondary partial coating of tiny micro-crystals growing on the cubes.  I like this one for the unusual shape and three dimensional aspects of the piece.  Clean specimen.

JC3921.  Pyromorphite.  Rosenburg mine, Bad - Ems, Rhineland, Germany.  7 x 8 cm   339g.  $350.00   Pale beige, almost pinkish crystals on white matrix.  Flat plate.  A few of the crystals, most of which are standing more or less straight out from the matrix, are broken.  These are not visible in the photo, nor are they obvious on the specimen.  Overall a nice piece that displays well.
JC3969.  Pyromorphite.  Sherman mine, Sunset Peak, nr. Burke, Coeur d'Alene district, Shoshone County, Idaho.  3 x 4.5 cm.  18g.  $15.00.   Specimens from the Sherman are becoming hard to find on the market.  This one was collected in the 1960's.

JC3744.  Pyromorphite.  Aurora mine, Huepac, Sonora, Mexico.  3.8 cm x 4 cm.  31g.  $20.00.   Although this is the location given on the label, a routine internet search did not give this location for any minerals.  There is an "Aurora" in Huepac, but no "Aurora mine".  Nor are there any vanadinite/mimetite/pyromorphite locations given for Huepac.    Neither does "Minerals of Mexico" by Panczner (1987).  I don't know what to make of this location.  The crystals color and association do not remind me of any specific location either.
