Description from the seller
Cubic Pyrite – Huanzala Mine, Peru
An extraordinary specimen of natural pyrite from the legendary Huanzala Mine, renowned for producing some of the most beautiful crystals in the world. This formation stands out for its shiny crystals with complex geometric shapes—octahedra and pentagon-dodecahedra—that reflect light like solid gold, creating a unique scenic effect. The metallic surfaces, extremely bright and characterized by slight growth striations, give the sample an elegant and precious appearance. It is a piece of great aesthetic impact, perfect for mineral collectors, prestigious exhibitions, or as a decorative element capable of immediately capturing attention.
The Huanzala pyrite, in the Huallanca region (Peru), is considered a timeless classic of mineralogy, appreciated for its purity, brilliance, and the variety of its crystal forms.
A sample that embodies all the perfection and power of natural crystallization.
