Description from the seller
A refined heart carved from a single block of natural pyrite from Peru, characterized by a dual soul: on one side, the smooth, polished surface reveals the metallic compactness of the stone, with golden reflections reminiscent of ancient bronze; on the other, the natural geode opens in an explosion of sparkling cubic crystals, capturing light with a vivid and magnetic glow. This contrast between smooth and rough, full and empty, gives the piece a unique and dynamic beauty, transforming it into a collectible and design object with a strong aesthetic impact. Pyrite, known since antiquity as 'fool’s gold,' is appreciated today not only for its mineral charm but also for its symbolic value of energy and protection.
