Pyrite cube

A substantial lump of fools gold from Rioja, Spain. I paid £20 for it sometime in the 1990s. As I was on the dole at the time it was a major purchase, I walked round the rock and mineral fair and looked at it at least 8 times before shelling out. Thank goodness that supermarkets threw out perfect food and had accessible skips. A very satisfying object though. The Rock Exchange, Britain's premier mineral and fossil fair at Lady Manner's School, Bakewell. www.visitpeakdistrict.com/Bakewell-Rock-Exchange/details/... The bit about eating food out of supermarket skips isn't a joke. Absolutely tonnes of good, perfectly safe, food goes to landfill from supermarkets every day - you do risk arrest, or getting covered in bleach as I did as they attempted to make the food inedible.
