Large pyrite with quartz and calcite Multi-Generation Crystals - Height: 12 cm - Width: 10 cm- 1040 g

An impressive 1 kg+ specimen of intergrown golden pyrite crystals from the famous Huanzala Mine, Peru. At its core lies a large, sharp cornered crystal, around which smaller pyrite crystals radiate in an intricate arrangement. Visible are second-generation pyrite crystals, slightly deformed yet with a rich, vibrant golden color, adding extra visual interest and complexity to the piece. Delicately scattered across the surface are small quartz crystals, creating a beautiful contrast against the metallic pyrite. This is a striking, multi-textured display piece that shows the best of Huanzala mineralization — mirror-like luster, crisp edges, and an impressive composition. Origin: Huanzala Mine, Huallanca District, Dos de Mayo Province, Huánuco, Peru Minerals: Pyrite with Quartz and Calcite Condition: Natural, multi-generation crystals, excellent luster
