One specimen to anchor a mineral collection? This large cubic pyrite on high grade crystal quartz weighs in at about 45 pounds.
The brassy pyrite cubes contrast strongly with the clear quartz points beneath them, and the specimen is sold in its natural form, so the faces and edges are exactly as they grew. At about 17.75 inches long and 45 pounds, it is sized for a lobby, a large bookcase, a home library, an executive office or a museum style display cabinet, where it will read clearly from across the room. It is a serious gift for a lifelong collector or a milestone such as a retirement or a business opening. This is the exact specimen shown.
The specimen is about 17.75 by 11.5 by 5.75 inches and weighs about 20.6 kilograms (45 pounds 7 ounces).
Pyrite is iron sulfide, the most common sulfide mineral, nicknamed fool's gold for its brassy color and metallic luster. It often grows as natural cubes, octahedrons or pyritohedrons. Pyrite can tarnish with moisture, so it keeps its shine best in a dry spot.
Stone Meaning: Pyrite is traditionally associated with luck and abundance.
