Exceptional Octahedral Pyrite Specimen - Height: 145 mm - Width: 90 mm- 807 g

Eccezionale campione di pirite ottaedrica proveniente dal Perù. Questo straordinario esemplare mineralogico è caratterizzato da cristalli dalle facce triangolari, creando un grappolo di pirite di grande bellezza e fascino. La pirite ottaedrica è una varietà di pirite che si sviluppa in cristalli con una forma geometrica a otto facce. Ogni faccia del cristallo è un triangolo perfetto, che si unisce alle altre per formare una struttura regolare e armoniosa. Questo campione di pirite ottaedrica è un esempio sbalorditivo di questa formazione mineralogica. I cristalli ottaedrici sono di dimensioni generose e presentano una brillantezza dorata che cattura l'attenzione. La forma ottaedrica conferisce loro una struttura tridimensionale affascinante, che si presta ad essere ammirata da ogni angolazione. Le facce ottaedriche dei cristalli di pirite sono formate da una combinazione di facce cubiche (con bordi a forma di quadrato) e facce dodecaedriche (con bordi a forma di dodici lati). Questa combinazione di forme conferisce ai cristalli un aspetto distintivo e affascinante.

Exceptional octahedral pyrite specimen from Peru. This extraordinary mineralogical specimen is characterized by crystals with triangular faces, creating a pyrite cluster of great beauty and charm.
Octahedral pyrite is a variety of pyrite that develops into crystals with an eight-sided 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 specimen is a stunning example of this mineralogical formation. The octahedral crystals are generously sized and have a golden brilliance that captures the attention. The octahedral shape gives them a fascinating three-dimensional structure, which lends itself to being admired from every angle.
The octahedral faces of pyrite crystals are formed by a combination of cubic faces (with edges shaped like a square) and dodecahedral faces (with edges shaped like twelve sides). This combination of shapes gives the crystals a distinctive and fascinating appearance.
