 | "If you can get past the fact that they are "just" pyrites, you have to admit that these PERFECT cubes on matrix from Spain are amongst the most striking crystals in the mineral kingdom. Non-mineral people usually cannot believe that they form naturally, in fact! This is a LARGE, PRISTINE cube, wonderfully isolated and fully exposed on the matrix. It is nestled in a curve in the matrix, making it particularly attractive. It measures 2.5 cm on edge and has a mirror-golden luster. A fabulous-looking specimen from a superb batch we got recently. Pyrite is the classic "Fool's Gold". There are other shiny brassy yellow minerals, but pyrite is by far the most common and the most often mistaken for gold. Whether it is the golden look or something else, pyrite is a favorite among rock collectors. It can have a beautiful luster and interesting crystals. It is so common in the earth's crust that it is found in almost every possible environment, hence it has a vast number of forms and varieties." Location: Logrono, Spain
