marcasite and iron pyrites nodules

[mazeman]

Anyone know where I can get marcasite and iron pyrites nodules? There is plenty of 'fools's gold' in the slate mines around here but thats's all the pretty sedimentary stuff,no nodules. And as for marcasite, i can only source little ones, 2 - 3 cm, which I reckon is too small.
Thanks,
Richard

Might not be the cheapest place but a lot of hippy crystal shops sell both pyrite crystals and lumps of marcasite or there's always fleabay
