AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

**No reserved price.** The highest bidder wins this special specimen.

An impressive pyrite specimen from the famous Huanzala mine in Peru, with beautifully developed pyritohedral crystals that exhibit an exceptional metallic luster. Although these crystals at first glance strongly resemble octahedra, this is the characteristic pyritohedral crystal form for which pyrite is known. The sharp geometry and clearly developed crystal faces give the specimen a particularly aesthetic appearance.

Between the gold-colored pyrite crystals are contrasting aggregates of dark sphalerite, which add extra character and visual depth to the piece. The combination of shiny pyrite crystals and dark sphalerite creates a striking natural contrast and makes this specimen a real showpiece.

A pretty and decorative collection piece for lovers of high-quality mineral specimens.


**Vindplaats:** Huanzala-mijn, district Huallanca, provincie Dos de Mayo, regio Huánuco, Peru.
