Peruvian Pyrite Freeform

A striking 49g Peruvian Pyrite freeform combining a highly reflective polished surface with exposed pockets of natural Pyrite crystals.

The polished areas have Pyrite's unmistakable metallic, brassy-gold lustre, while several sections have been left open to reveal clusters of geometric crystals beneath the surface. The contrast between the smooth polish and raw crystalline texture makes this a particularly interesting little display piece.

Geological Information

• Mineral: Pyrite
• Composition: Iron sulphide (FeS₂)
• Locality: Peru
• Crystal System: Isometric
• Hardness: 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale
• Weight: 49g
• Form: Polished freeform with natural crystalline areas

Pyrite is an iron sulphide mineral recognised by its metallic lustre and brassy-gold colour. It crystallises in the isometric system and is particularly well known for forming naturally geometric crystals, including cubes and other sharply defined forms.

Peru is renowned for producing exceptional Pyrite specimens, including highly lustrous crystals with beautifully defined geometric formations.
