Peruvian Pyrite Sphere

A beautiful 92g Peruvian Pyrite sphere with an incredible metallic lustre and naturally occurring crystalline areas visible across the polished surface.

This piece combines the smooth, reflective finish of a polished sphere with exposed Pyrite crystal formations, creating pockets of bright gold-toned sparkle and texture. Turn it in the light and the surface shifts between warm brassy gold, darker metallic tones and highly reflective crystalline flashes.

Your sphere comes with a free display stand, so it is ready to display as soon as it arrives.

Pyrite is an iron sulphide mineral renowned for its strong metallic lustre and distinctive brassy-gold colouring. Its isometric crystal structure allows Pyrite to naturally form striking geometric crystals, including the cubes for which the mineral is particularly well known.

Peru is an important source of collector-quality Pyrite, producing specimens prized for their brilliant metallic lustre and sharply defined crystal formations.

Metaphysical Properties

• Growth, prosperity and abundance
• Confidence and personal power
• Motivation and determination
