AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From our selection of collectible minerals we propose a splendid group of Pyrite crystals from Huanzala Mine, Peru.
It is also characterized by a dense aggregation of crystals with pentagonododecahedral habit, with a brilliant golden color and sharp, well-developed faces on the matrix, which increase its aesthetic value and mineralogical importance.
The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall aesthetic balance, with features that enhance its natural structure and visual impact.
Pyrite (FeS2) owes its name to the Greek term 'pyr', fire, because struck against steel it produces sparks, a characteristic used since ancient times to light fire. The Huanzala Mine, in the province of Bolognesi (Ancash, Peru), is a polymetallic deposit of lead, zinc and silver known among collectors for the quality and the pentagonododecahedral form of its pyrite crystals. The characteristic golden color and metallic luster, due to the iron-sulfur composition, have earned it over time the nickname 'fool's gold'.
This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the field of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species.
All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, except for rare cases always noted in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best enhance colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
Shipping is carried out via reliable express couriers and selected providers, with fast delivery (in many cases 1-2 working days in Europe), tracked and insured shipping and professional, safe packaging, as confirmed by customer reviews. Deliveries can also occur the day after payment depending on the destination.
It is possible to accumulate multiple purchases and receive them in a single shipment, even from auctions with different deadlines, simply contact us to organize the consolidation. For important pieces, direct home delivery by appointment or at major European fairs is also available.
