Pyrite

Item Description

Pyrites from Navajun are one of the most easily recognizeable and iconic display specimens in the world. They are highly attractive, and arguably the finest crystallized representations of the species. This showy matrix piece is highlighted by the well-placed 3.6 x 3.2 cm cluster perched at the top. The razor-sharp, highly lustrous cubes have metallic soft golden color. 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 specimen in this size range for a representative specimen good enough for any collection! It displays well without aid. Natural Cubist art. Impressive.
