As with all of our minerals no two pieces are alike, offering a truly one-of-a-kind gift for mineral collectors, Minecraft fans, geologists, and rockhounds alike. This Pyrite is from Duff Quarry, Ohio. Pictured mounted on our medium adjustable stand, which is included with purchase.
About Pyrite
Pyrite, often referred to as "fool's gold" due to its striking resemblance to real gold, is a popular mineral among collectors. It commonly forms in cubic crystals, though it can also manifest in octahedral and pyritohedral forms. Well-formed cubic pyrite crystals are particularly prized by collectors for their geometric perfection. It has a metallic luster and a pale brass-yellow hue, which can sometimes exhibit a slightly greenish tint. Its reflective, shiny surface makes it visually appealing and easily distinguishable. Overall, pyrite's aesthetic appeal, variety of forms, and widespread availability make it a fascinating and rewarding mineral for collectors of all levels.
