PYRITE SUN SMALL

PYRITE SUN SMALL

A stunning Pyrite Sun Small.  This is a natural formation of Pyrite and something quite different to the usual more cubic looking varieties.  Striations radiate out from the centre.  Our Suns are hand selected at the source for their excellent quality.  We are well known for our metals range and have pyrite specimens showing cubic, orbicular and octahedral crystals, as well as these suns.  Pyrite (“fools gold”) is popular with all age groups.  A great piece for the collector of unusual pieces.  This Pyrite Sun comes with a perspex stand for display and looks even better in person.  This size specimen is perfect for pendant jewellery making.

PYRITE OCTAHEDRAL CRYSTALS

PYRITE OCTAHEDRAL CRYSTALS

Rare to find this geometric form of PYRITE OCTAHEDRAL CRYSTALS.  A great little cluster for the collector showing another formation of this popular metal.  The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is an iron sulfide which has the chemical formula FeS2.  This mineral’s metallic luster and pale brass yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool’s gold.  Pyrite is difficult to photograph and this one looks way better in person and shows the golden brass colour.

Dimensions:
5.2cm x 4.8cm x 4.9cm, 225g.

Lovely Pyrite Mangano Calcite Couple.  Two specimens from the same location were in an old stock box and here they are.  One in  a triangle crystal shape with mass coating of micro Pyrite on one side.  Another light coloured crystals cluster with minor Micro Pyrite.  Both of these specimens are fluorescent under the long and short of it.  UVC and UVA,  just for good measure a few pics showing very brief phosphorescence with a UV laser.  Just the kind many crystal lovers choose over more perfect collectible pieces.  A super nice piece and something different from the more commonly available.
