A compact and well-defined pyrite specimen featuring predominantly pyritohedral crystal forms. The crystals display sharp, multifaceted faces with a strong metallic luster, creating a dense and highly reflective surface.
The pyritohedral habit gives this piece a more dynamic and complex geometry compared to standard cubic pyrite. The intergrown crystals form a cohesive cluster, with variations in size and orientation producing a lively surface that interacts strongly with light.
Despite its moderate size, the specimen shows a high degree of structural clarity, with well-developed crystal faces and a balanced overall form. The metallic sheen is bright and consistent, enhancing the sculptural quality of the piece.
From the Huanzala Mine, this specimen represents pyrite crystallization under conditions favoring pyritohedral growth. This habit is less commonly encountered in well-formed clusters, especially in pieces with this level of cohesion.
Part of our Huanzala Study Collection, this specimen offers a clear and accessible example of pyritohedral pyrite crystallography in a compact format.
