Item Description
Pyrite is a widespread sulfide mineral, truly found in thousands of world localities, so it's hard to find specimens that really stand out from others. The impressive crystal from the Navajun area in Spain are arguably the most easily recognizable and iconic examples of Pyrite in the world. The superb, classic textbook cubes are about as good as you will find for the species, both in terms of quality and quantity. They are highly attractive, and arguably the finest crystallized representations of Pyrite ever seen, at least in cubic form. This piece features a 2.4 cm razor-sharp, highly lustrous, metallic soft golden color cube of Pyrite aesthetically flaring off matrix. This locality is mined almost exclusively for its Pyrite crystals, which are world famous and well known among collectors, and pieces like this are wonderful representations of the material.
