Pyrite on Basalt Specimen with Metal Stand - One of a Kind, 14.25 In

Natural pyrite growing on basalt, set on a metal stand, is ready to display as soon as it is unpacked.

The pyrite is rough and natural, left as it grew on the host rock, and its brassy metallic shine contrasts with the darker basalt around it. The stand lifts it into view on a console, a bookcase or an office credenza, and at a little over a foot tall it holds attention without taking over the table. Lighting from above makes the metallic faces flash as you move. It suits someone opening a business, a collector of metallic minerals or anyone who has always wanted fool's gold on display.

About Pyrite on Basalt

Pyrite is iron sulfide, the most common sulfide mineral, and its name comes from the Greek for a stone that strikes fire, since it throws sparks when struck against steel. Basalt, the host rock, is a fine grained volcanic rock rich in iron and magnesium; it is usually dark gray to black and makes up more than 90 percent of Earth's volcanic rock.

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