High Quality! Pyrite crystal cluster - Height: 5.5 cm - Width: 4.5 cm- 76 g

Antonio Rapisarda

Selected by Antonio Rapisarda
This specimen features interjoined cubic pyrite crystals with a brilliant gold color and high luster. Often called "fool's gold" due to their resemblance to real gold, these crystals naturally form this way in the earth, but sometimes need to be reglued as they can fall apart during extraction. Originating from Navajún, La Rioja, Spain, this piece is of very good quality and makes a remarkable addition to any fine mineral collection. While some crystals were reglued, common for Spanish pyrites, their restoration was expertly executed.
