Pyrite Pyritohedral Cluster | 194 grams | Quiruvilca Mine, Peru
$243.00 CAD
Unit price per1 low in stock
Peruvian pyrite is famous worldwide for its well-formed, highly lustrous crystals. The country is one of the top sources for high-quality pyrite specimens, particularly from the Huanzala Mine in the Áncash Region and the Quiruvilca Mine in La Libertad. These locations produce stunning pyritohedral crystals, often found in association with quartz, sphalerite, and galena.
The term “pyritohedral” refers to a specific crystal habit that pyrite (and occasionally other minerals) can form. In this structure, the crystal takes on a polyhedral shape with 12 faces. However, unlike a perfectly symmetrical shape with identical pentagonal faces, natural pyritohedral crystals often exhibit slight irregularities or distortions in their faces.
Pyrite is known as a stone of protection, abundance, and confidence. It is believed to shield against negative energy and promote mental clarity and willpower.
This top Peruvian specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
