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. This sculptural floater small cabinet is a dramatically stacked cluster of razor-sharp, highly lustrous, metallic pale golden color cubes. The crowning cube is 2.8 x 2.7 x 2.6 cm. Contacts are noted, where other crystal were once attached. A bit of trivial edge wear is noted, but is certainly nothing to detraction. 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 crystal clusters come apart and are thus reassembled (as is the case on this piece). This is a fine quality floater specimen in this size range for a representative specimen good enough for any collection! It displays well in any orientation! Natural Cubist art. Impressive.
