The individual crystal faces display pronounced natural striations, with reflective metallic surfaces that catch the light from different angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall formation has an almost floral appearance, with several individual crystal groupings coming together to create a remarkably textured and dimensional specimen. Its darker champagne-gold and bronze tones give it wonderful depth, while the bright metallic flashes highlight the intricate crystal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately two inches across and weighing 162 grams, this is a compact but substantial specimen with plenty of visual interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fascinating world of pyrite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePyrite, chemically known as iron sulfide (FeS₂), is one of the most recognizable metallic minerals in the world. Although it is commonly found as cubes and other geometric crystal forms, it can also develop into radiating, bladed, and rosette-like arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese unusual growth habits are part of what makes collecting pyrite so interesting. No two natural formations develop in exactly the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI personally hand-selected this specimen from the material I brought home from Tucson, choosing it specifically for our customers at A Grain of Sand. I was drawn to its unusual flower-like formation, the multiple radiating crystal groupings, and the beautiful metallic luster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI believe this is a particularly interesting piece for anyone who appreciates unusual mineral formations and the natural artistry of crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMineral: Pyrite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollector name: Pyrite Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormation: Natural radiating crystal rosettes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 162 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: Approximately 2 x 1.75 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Dark champagne gold and bronze metallic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuster: Metallic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSKU: NC8022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocality: Not confirmed; possibly Peru\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMetaphysical associations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePyrite has traditionally been associated with abundance, confidence, motivation, and protection.
