Pyrite Crystal cluster - Height: 10 cm - Width: 23 cm- 7.1 kg - (1)

Pyrite is a common iron sulfide mineral often called "fool's gold" for its metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue that resemble gold. This crystal cluster showcases pyrite's distinctive cubic crystal shapes tightly grouped together, which is a common natural habit for the mineral. Pyrite forms as cubic or pyritohedral crystals and is often found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, as well as hydrothermal veins. Its sparkling, metallic appearance has made it popular with mineral collectors and as ornamental specimens. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, pyrite was historically used in the production of sulfur and sulfuric acid, and it has interesting electrical properties that led to exploratory uses in photovoltaics. The size and weight indicated suggest a substantial, display-worthy specimen for collectors or decorative use.
