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