Pyrite on Shale
This specimen from Spain sits on a shale matrix, featuring highly defined, sharp cubes of Pyrite with a metallic luster. Measuring 92 x 52 x 18mm and weighing 146g, the well-formed crystals display the classic geometric shape that Pyrite is known for, making it a striking example of this mineral.
Pyrite, often referred to as "Fool’s Gold," forms in sedimentary rocks and is an iron sulfide mineral. Its cubic structure is a hallmark of its crystallization process, often occurring in environments with low temperatures. Pyrite is believed to promote vitality and mental clarity, often used to boost confidence and protect against negative energy. The shale matrix further enhances the specimen’s natural appearance, making this a standout piece.
