Pyrite on Calcite Cluster with Wooden Stand - One of a Kind, 11 Inch #1

Want a mineral that is part glassy crystal and part shiny metal? This tall pyrite on calcite cluster has both.

The calcite formed into gemmy, tabular crystals that fan out in petal shapes, and some are coated with pyrite, which adds a dark golden metallic luster. The cluster rests upright on a dark wooden stand custom made to fit it, so it displays securely on a table, a desk, a shelf or an altar. At about 11 inches tall and 2.4 kilograms, it has height and presence without needing much surface. The play between clear calcite and shiny pyrite looks different under daylight and lamplight. It makes a memorable gift for a mineral collector, a new office or someone who likes gold accents. This is the exact cluster and stand shown.

The cluster on its stand is about 5.625 by 3 by 11 inches tall and weighs about 2.4 kilograms (5 lb 5 oz).

About Pyrite and Calcite

Pyrite is iron sulfide, nicknamed fool's gold for its brassy color and metallic luster, and it tarnishes with moisture. Calcite is calcium carbonate, soft at 3 on the Mohs scale, and it grows in many crystal shapes, from rhombs and scalenohedrons to flat tabular plates.

Stone Meaning: Pyrite is traditionally associated with abundance and confidence.
