Bright and sharp marcasite crystals are clustered on the matrix apex. Marcasite is especially prone to decomposition, producing obnoxious acidic odors. This specimen appears to be stable; I've had it a few years and it is odor-free. Typical for the species/locality. Ex Ed Clopton (probably personally collected); his handwritten label accompanies the specimen.
