Pyrite Cluster
Peru
4.87 x 3.93 x 2.87 inches (12.38 x 9.97 x 7.29 cm)

Golden reflections dance across this Peruvian Pyrite cluster, giving the sharply defined cubic crystals a festive brilliance well-suited to the holiday season. Interlocking faces and "stepped" growth patterns reveal classic mineralogical development, with each crystal catching the light in a slightly different way. Subtle variations in luster-from mirror-bright planes to softly textured surfaces-add depth and complexity to the overall presentation. Warm hints of underlying matrix peek through the metallic sheen, providing contrast and emphasizing the richness of the Pyrite coloration. This radiant specimen offers a beautiful seasonal touch of natural sparkle for any mineral display.
