Natural Pyrite Specimen with calcite mounted on custom acrylic display from Peru

About the Item

Origin: Peru Pyrite occurs in a great diversity of environments, we can also find fossils with pyrite coatings such as the pyritized ammonites from Siberia. Pyrite is a mineral composed mainly of iron sulfide (FeS2). The growth in the form of “Cubes” of this mineral is really exceptional, since they become intertwined in such a way that they are an impressive work of art of Nature. Its chemical formula indicates that it is composed of one iron atom and two sulfur atoms. It often exhibits a bright metallic luster and golden or brass tones, earning it the nickname “fool's gold”. This art object offers a distinctive and unique touch that can transform any space, making it a point of conversation and admiration.
