Pyrite

Item Description

A gorgeous mound of bright, sharp lustrous metallic golden striated pyritohedral crystals of Pyrite measuring up to 3.3 cm across. A bit of roughness to some of the crystals keeps the piece from being completely perfect, but it's still showy and will probably end up being a great bargain for one of you lucky bidders. Peruvian Pyrites are among the finest quality examples of the species extant, and pieces from the famous Huanzala Mine are treasured by collectors around the world. Yes, it's one of the most common minerals out there, but how many places produce robust, brilliant crystals in large cabinet display specimens like this? Valued in the inventory at $1,000.
