A large and visually striking pyrite specimen featuring dominant cubic crystals with strong linear striations and a bright metallic luster. The crystal faces are well-developed and reflective, forming a structured and cohesive cluster with clear geometric definition.

Chalcopyrite occurs as scattered metallic accents across the surface, introducing subtle color variation with its slightly warmer, brassy tones. Sphalerite is present in darker intergrowths beneath and between the pyrite crystals, adding depth and contrast to the composition.

This association reflects a classic hydrothermal sequence from Huanzala, where multiple sulfide minerals crystallized in close proximity under stable conditions. The balance between primary pyrite formation and secondary mineral deposition creates a specimen with both visual complexity and mineralogical relevance.

Part of our Huanzala Study Collection, this piece represents a strong and substantial example within the release, combining large crystal development with multi-mineral association and good surface continuity.
