About the stone
Pyrite is an iron sulfide distinguished by its characteristic metallic luster and golden color. In nature, it forms striking geometric crystals, most commonly in the shape of cubes and pyritohedra. Due to its deceptive metallic brilliance, it has historically been called “fool’s gold.” This mineral forms through hydrothermal and magmatic processes, making it a prized specimen in mineralogical collections around the world.

Care
Due to its iron content, pyrite should be protected from moisture and cleaned only with a dry, soft cloth. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box.
