AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Peruvian pyrite on quartz matrix – Large metallic cube – 1,100 g

Description:

Magnificent natural pyrite specimen, composed of several metallic cubic crystals on a matrix rich in small white crystals, probably quartz.

The piece is dominated by a large bronze-colored cubic crystal at the center, displaying beautiful parallel striations on its faces. Many other pyrite crystals, of varying sizes and shapes, are scattered across the matrix. The whole ensemble offers a remarkable contrast between the dark golden metal of pyrite and the sparkling white of the matrix.

A decorative and mineralogical piece of particular interest for collectors of sulfides and crystallized minerals.

The Peruvian origin is presumed, but not documented by a certificate or origin label.

Features:

* Mineral species: Pyrite (FeS₂)
* Supposed origin: Peru
* Weight: 1,100 g
* Dimensions: 13 × 13 × 8 cm

Careful shipment with tracking number.
