Description from the seller

Pyrite is a very common mineral composed of iron sulfide, like marcasite, which takes its name from the Greek term πῦρ pyr (fire) because it sparkles when struck with a piece of metal. Because of its gold color, it was once known as the fool's gold; when heated in a flame it emits a mixture of sulfides with the classic smell of rotten eggs. It is frequently found in crystal form in various shapes

Absolutely beautiful Pyrite, from Rio Marina, Elba Island, Tuscany, Italy.

Dimensions: 15x14x8 cm
Weight: 2780 g
