If one mineral specimen is going to anchor a room, it should look this bold: gemmy calcite crystals with golden pyrite, standing upright on a dark wooden stand.
The calcite here formed into gemmy pentagonal shapes, and some are coated with pyrite that gives a shiny dark gold luster, so you see both glassy and metallic surfaces in one piece. The stand was made to fit this specimen, so it displays upright on a table, sideboard, desk or shelf without any extra hardware. At about 11 inches tall and more than 16 pounds, it is a true statement piece for an office, a lobby or a serious collection. It is a natural combination, not glued together. It makes a memorable gift for a mineral collector or a business opening. This is the exact specimen and stand shown.
The specimen on its stand is about 8 by 4.5 by 11 inches tall and weighs about 7.38 kilograms (16 pounds 4 ounces).
About Pyrite and Calcite
Pyrite is iron sulfide, the most common sulfide mineral, and its brassy color and metallic luster earned it the nickname fool's gold. Calcite is calcium carbonate, only 3 on the Mohs scale, and it grows in many crystal shapes. Pyrite crystallizing on calcite creates a natural pairing of metallic gold and glassy crystal.
Stone Meaning: Pyrite is traditionally associated with abundance and confidence.
