Item Description
Pyrites from Navajun are one of the most easily recognizable and iconic display specimens in the world. They are highly attractive, and arguably the finest crystallized representations of the species. This piece features a pair of razor-sharp, highly lustrous, metallic soft golden color cubes of Pyrite measuring up to 1.9 cm aesthetically flaring off matrix. It's hard to find more than one crystal on matrix in my experience, as they are typically found as loose singles. This locality is mined almost exclusively for its Pyrite crystals, which are world famous and well known among collectors.
