Raw Pyrite on Stand No. 251
Raw Pyrite on Stand No. 251
Pyrite from Peru in a tall, narrow formation: 10 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 3 cm deep, on a black stand - 14 cm in total. The crystals have sharp, geometric edges and a metallic golden sheen; light reflects off them in small points, like it does off crumpled foil. The specimen weighs 446 g and stands like a small, upright sculpture - the black stand is the only element that does not shine.

About the stone
Pyrite is a classic iron sulfide that crystallizes naturally into geometric forms such as cubes and pentagonal dodecahedra. Due to its intense metallic sheen and golden color, it is commonly known as “fool's gold”. It forms through hydrothermal processes and in sedimentary rocks, creating clusters with sharp edges.

Care
Protect pyrite from moisture and water to prevent iron corrosion. Use only a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Place the specimen on a level surface, away from edges.
