About the Item

This Quartz on Pyrite specimen from the renowned Huanzala Mine in Áncash, Peru, weighs 3.2 pounds and is a perfect significant cabinet size. Rising sprays of clear Quartz crystals catch and reflect the light with brilliance, while the golden cubic Pyrite beneath provides a bold metallic foundation. Together, the pairing creates a natural sculpture of striking contrast and balance. The Pyrite displays the mirror-like luster for which Huanzala is celebrated, its sharply defined cubes arranged in a geometric base that feels both architectural and refined. Above, the Quartz crystals ascend with sharp terminations that scatter light across the composition. The result is a piece that appears luminous and dynamic from every angle. Specimens from the Huanzala Mine are admired worldwide by those who appreciate their decorative presence. This example, with its interplay of glassy clarity and golden metallic sheen, is as at home in a sophisticated interior as it is in a fine mineral cabinet. Placed on a console, bookshelf, or mantel, it serves as a statement piece that marries natural history with timeless design.
