Pyrite

Item Description

A dramatically sculptural and aesthetic large matrix pyrite specimen from Navajun. Seven razor-sharp, highly lustrous cubes with metallic soft golden color are artistically set on the matrix. The large crystal is a 2.8 cm cube and they are all pristine. Pyrites from Navajun are one of the most easily recognizeable and iconic display specimens in the world. They are highly attractive, and arguably the finest crystallized representations of the species. This locality is mined almost exclusively for its Pyrite crystals, which are world famous and well known among collectors. Note that in the process of excavation, most such crystal clusters come apart and are thus reassembled (there is no evidence of reconstruction on this piece under UV light). This is a pristine and very high quality specimen in this size range for a representative specimen good enough for any collection! One end has been sawed to enhance the outstanding display quality. Natural Cubist art. Impressive. Fairly valued at $1750-2000.
