About Pyrite & Its Crystal Formations Pyrite is a naturally occurring iron sulphide mineral, widely recognised for its distinctive metallic lustre and geometric crystal formations. Commonly known as Fool's Gold, Pyrite has long been appreciated by mineral collectors for its fascinating natural crystal structures. This substantial Peruvian specimen features intergrown crystals displaying modified cubic and pyritohedral characteristics, with well-defined geometric faces and prominent natural striations. In mineralogy, the term modified cubic describes cubic crystals that have developed additional crystallographic faces, creating more complex geometric forms. The pyritohedron is a characteristic crystal form of Pyrite, consisting of twelve irregular pentagonal faces when fully developed. The combination of these naturally occurring crystal forms, growth patterns and surface striations makes this a particularly interesting specimen for mineral collectors and enthusiasts of crystallography.
Important Information You will receive the exact Peruvian Pyrite Crystal Cluster shown in the photographs. As a genuine natural mineral specimen, crystals may feature natural fractures, growth lines, surface markings, irregularities and variations in formation. These characteristics are part of the mineral's natural growth and are not considered defects.
