Description from the seller
Exceptional octahedral pyrite specimen from Peru. This extraordinary mineralogical specimen features crystals with triangular faces, creating a cluster of pyrite of great beauty and charm.
Octahedral pyrite is a variety of pyrite that develops in crystals with an eight-faced geometric shape. Each face of the crystal is a perfect triangle, which joins with the others to form a regular and harmonious structure.
This octahedral pyrite sample is a stunning example of this mineral formation. The octahedral crystals are of generous size and display a golden brilliance that captures attention. The octahedral shape gives them a fascinating three-dimensional structure, which can be admired from every angle.
The octahedral faces of pyrite crystals are formed by a combination of cubic faces (with square-shaped edges) and dodecahedral faces (with twelve-sided edges). This combination of shapes gives the crystals a distinctive and fascinating appearance.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
