About the Item

Pyrite, often called "fool's gold" due to its shiny, gold-like appearance, has a long history dating back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks and Romans, valued pyrite for its ability to produce sparks when struck against steel, making it useful for fire-starting. Over time, pyrite also became a source of sulfur for various industrial processes. Today, collectors admire pyrite for its striking metallic luster, intricate cubic and pyritohedral crystal forms, and its fascinating natural patterns. Its unique appearance and historical significance make it a popular and prized specimen among mineral enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
