About the stone
This specimen is a natural intergrowth of two minerals: layered agate, a variety of chalcedony, and cubic pyrite crystals, or iron sulfide, that have formed on it. This structure develops in cavities within rocks, where the two minerals crystallize one after the other. The dark, greenish-black agate base combined with golden, metallic pyrite creates an opaque whole with a unique crystal arrangement. Find out more in the article Pyrite — Fool’s Gold on our blog.
Care
Due to the presence of pyrite, avoid contact between the ring and water. Clean the stone only when dry, using a soft cloth. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of your jewelry box.
