Description from the seller

Pyrite, often also called "fool's gold", is a mineral composed mostly of iron sulfide (FeS₂). It occurs in a golden color that is often confused with real gold, but its structure and properties are quite different. Pyrite has a shiny, metallic luster and often forms cube-shaped crystals, giving it an attractive appearance.

This mineral is found in a variety of geological environments, including sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Pyrite can also be found in association with other minerals and is often used as a source of sulfur and iron.

Although pyrite is not as valuable as gold, it is sometimes used in jewelry, decorative objects, and even in the production of sulfuric acid. It also has some metaphysical and spiritual applications, where it is seen as a stone that can attract wealth and abundance.

Will be sent max insured and registered mail.
