This is a breathtaking, 2.9" wide "golden amphibolite" sphere, collected from Abydos in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The golden inclusions within this specimen are likely grunerite that has been largely altered to hematite and goethite within quartz.
The polish quality on this sphere is second to none. It comes with the pictured display stand.

It can be found all over the world, including the United States, Austria, England, South Africa, India, Norway, and Greenland.
