Brilliant golden pyrite crystals rise from a luminous white crystalline matrix in this striking 17.6 oz collector specimen. An impressive array of sharply defined, multi-faced crystals displays metallic brass-gold luster, natural striations, and intricate geometric growth. The sculptural crystal arrangement contrasts beautifully with the white, translucent-to-milky host mineral, which may be calcite.

A Display-Worthy Geological Treasure

Pyrite (FeS₂), sometimes called fool's gold, is admired for its geometric crystal forms and reflective metallic surface. This specimen showcases multiple prominent, well-formed crystals along the matrix edge, with smaller disseminated crystals visible across the reverse. It is a distinctive cabinet display, geology teaching specimen, or gift for a mineral collector.

Traditional Metaphysical Associations

Folklore only; not supported by scientific evidence: Pyrite is traditionally associated with abundance, confidence, protection, and motivation.

Care & Handling

Handle by the matrix when possible. Keep dry and away from prolonged humidity, water, acids, chemical cleaners, and impacts. Crystal edges may be fragile.
