Pyrite on Agate Ring, size 16
Pyrite on Agate Ring
This size 16 agate and pyrite ring has a raw yet elegant look on the hand. The dark green-black band sits securely on the finger, providing a base for a cluster of minerals. Cubic, golden pyrite crystals with a metallic sheen sparkle at the top, reflecting light with every movement of the hand. The matte texture of the agate combined with the gleaming metal creates a geometric contrast. This model stands out with its asymmetrical arrangement of minerals.

About the stone
This specimen is a natural, rare combination of two minerals: layered agate, a variety of chalcedony, and cubic pyrite crystals that have grown on it—iron sulfide. This type of intergrowth forms in rock cavities, where the two minerals crystallize one after the other. The dark green-black agate base combined with the golden crystals creates a unique structure in which the arrangement of the pyrite is different every time.

Care
Due to the iron content in pyrite, avoid contact between the ring and water or moisture. Clean it only with a dry, soft cloth. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box.
