AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A bold and architecturally striking specimen of two large intergrown pyrite cubes from the world-famous Navajún deposit in La Rioja, Spain. The two cubes are naturally intergrown, forming a compact and visually powerful composition that displays excellently from multiple angles.
Both crystals exhibit the characteristic features of Navajún pyrite: sharp cubic geometry, well-developed striated faces, and a bright metallic luster ranging from silver-gold to warm olive-green depending on the angle of light. The cube faces show the typical growth textures and minor surface features consistent with natural formation in the clay-rich host rock of this locality.
The specimen is self-supporting and presents a strong geometric presence, making it equally suited to serious mineral collections and high-quality display use.
