Specifications
Description
An impressive, large-scale pyrite specimen displaying a beautifully formed dodecahedral crystal habit with exceptional metallic luster. Sourced from the renowned Huanzala Mine in Peru—celebrated for producing some of the world’s finest pyrite—this piece exemplifies bold geometry and commanding presence. The crystal faces are sharply defined and naturally striated, reflecting light with a bright, mirror-like brilliance that accentuates the classic twelve-faced dodecahedral form. The surface exhibits a rich brassy-gold tone, with subtle textural variations across the faces that add dimension and vitality. The overall structure is solid and well-balanced, with strong architectural symmetry that makes it a striking display specimen from every angle. This is a substantial cabinet piece with excellent visual impact, a bold and timeless addition to any serious mineral collection. Specimens of this size and quality from Huanzala are highly sought after for their combination of form, luster, and locality prestige.
