AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pyrite gem with very luminous hematite, a highly aesthetic collector's specimen.
Pyrite is a mineral famous for its metallic luster, so much so that an untrained eye might confuse it with gold. Although not as valuable, it is an important stone in human evolution history because it was historically used to start fires, which is also alluded to by its name, meaning 'stone of fire.' It is a rather common mineral, and Italy is particularly rich in it.
