Pyrite

Item Description

Pyrites from Navajun are one of the most easily recognizeable and abundant display specimens in the world. They are highly attractive, and arguably the finest crystallized representations of the species. The dramatic intergrown cluster of razor-sharp, mirror-bright, metallic pale golden color cubes is striking. One spot of contacting and just a trivial bit of edge wear is noted. This locality is mined almost exclusively for its pyrite crystals, which are world famous and well known among collectors. Note that in the process of excavation, most such crystals pop out and are thus reattached to the matrix (it is hard to tell on this piece). This is a fine quality specimen in this size range, with impressive 360-degree visual appeal and is a representative specimen good enough for any collection! Natural Cubist art. Impressive.
