AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This impressive sphere is made of solid pyrite and features a fascinating open druse field on the front with numerous shiny, cubic crystals. The highly reflective, metallic gold surface of the sphere is typical for pyrite and is punctuated by small indentations, adding extra depth to the overall appearance. The exposed crystal structure in the center acts like a window into the interior of the stone, giving the sphere an extraordinary dynamic between a smooth surface and crystalline structure.

A decorative and mineralogically fascinating collectible that immediately catches the eye due to its diverse structure and intense gold coloration.
