AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Natural Pyrite on Matrix – Navajún, La Rioja, Spain
A magnificent specimen featuring perfectly cubic crystals of pyrite emerging naturally from their pale limestone matrix. The striking metallic luster and geometric precision of the cubes exemplify the world-renowned quality of pyrite from Navajún — considered among the finest on the planet.
The main cube, measuring 2.3 × 2.3 × 2.2 cm, dominates the composition with its sharp edges and mirror-like surface, accompanied by smaller, equally well-formed crystals scattered harmoniously across the host rock.
Often called “Fool’s Gold” for its resemblance to the precious metal, pyrite has long been a symbol of prosperity, protection, and vitality. In metaphysical traditions, it is said to energize the body and mind, boost confidence, and foster clarity in decision-making.
This specimen combines natural artistry and mineralogical perfection — an outstanding display piece for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
