AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A highly attractive natural Pyrite crystal cluster on matrix, featuring well-defined cubic formations and a strong metallic luster.
This specimen displays the characteristic geometric crystal growth for which pyrite is highly valued among collectors. The intergrown cubic crystals create a dynamic and visually striking composition, enhanced by natural contrasts between the metallic surfaces and the surrounding matrix.
Often referred to as “Fool’s Gold”, pyrite has been appreciated for centuries not only for its resemblance to gold, but also for its fascinating crystallography and natural beauty. Pieces such as this, with clearly visible crystal structure and good overall balance, are particularly sought after for both collecting and interior display.
The specimen is presented in its natural, untreated state and retains its original geological character.
Condition:
Very good natural condition with minor imperfections and small irregularities consistent with natural formation. No restoration or artificial enhancement.
Specifications:
Mineral: Pyrite
Form: Crystal cluster on matrix
Dimensions: approx. 6.5 × 5,2 x 4,2 cm
Weight: 232 g
A decorative and collectible mineral specimen, ideal for display or as part of a mineral collection.
