Medium Pyrite Pyramid
Description
A bold, glittering showpiece for your shelf or desk. This pyramid is carved from natural Peruvian pyrite and polished to a metallic gold finish, with patches of natural crystal texture left showing on the faces. The mix of smooth polish and rugged crystal makes every pyramid one of a kind.
Pyrite, also known as "fool's gold," is an iron sulfide mineral that has been mistaken for real gold for centuries. Unlike gold, it's hard and brittle, and it gets its name from the Greek word for fire because it sparks when struck. Pick one up and you'll notice its satisfying weight right away.
Display it on its own, pair it with the smaller size, or use it as a paperweight that's sure to start a conversation about minerals and geology.
Size: approx. 2"
Material: natural pyrite, Peru
Each piece is unique; surface texture and crystal patterns will vary.
