About the stone
This piece is a natural combination of two minerals: layered agate, a variety of chalcedony, and cubic pyrite crystals that have formed on its surface—iron sulfide. This type of intergrowth develops in rock cavities, where both minerals crystallize successively. The arrangement of the crystals is nature’s work—no two stones from the same rock ever look identical. Find out more in the article Pyrite — Fool’s Gold on our blog.
Care
Avoid contact between pyrite and water or moisture to prevent the iron from tarnishing. Clean the stone only with a dry, soft cloth. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of your jewelry box.
