Read our reviews →A striking cluster of naturally formed octahedral pyrite crystals from Peru, weighing 1.168 kilograms. The specimen displays dozens of sharply defined octahedral crystals with brilliant metallic luster, interlocking in a dense, sculptural formation. Each crystal face catches light at a different angle, creating a dynamic interplay of gold and bronze tones across the surface.
Octahedral pyrite forms when iron and sulfur crystallize under specific geological conditions that favor the eight-faced octahedral habit over the more common cubic form. This growth pattern produces crystals with triangular faces that meet at precise angles, a geometry that has fascinated mineralogists and collectors for centuries.
This is a substantial cabinet-sized specimen with excellent definition across the cluster. The crystals are well-formed with minimal matrix, allowing the geometric precision of each octahedron to be fully appreciated from every angle.

About the stone
Pyrite
Pyrite grows naturally into near-perfect cubes — no cutting, no polishing. Its atomic lattice simply prefers 90-degree angles.
