Pyrite's brassy metallic shine earned it the nickname fool's gold. Polished into a sphere, it catches and reflects light from every side.
Each sphere comes with a display stand, so it is ready to set out on a desk, a mantel, an office shelf or in a mineral collection. Sphere 01, about 3.5 inches, is a satisfying size for a desk; sphere 02, about 4.25 inches, makes a bolder statement. Pyrite looks especially striking in warm light and next to dark wood. It is a memorable gift for a new business, a promotion or a collector. You choose the exact sphere from the photos.
Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive.
About Pyrite
Pyrite is iron sulfide, the most common sulfide mineral, nicknamed fool's gold for its brassy color and metallic luster. Its name comes from the Greek pyr, meaning fire, because it can spark when struck against steel. It tarnishes with moisture, so it is best kept dry.
Stone Meaning: Pyrite is traditionally associated with confidence and abundance.
