About this product

Set it in a window and the cubes throw back the light like small brass mirrors. The angles look so deliberate that it is hard to believe the earth made this on its own.

This raw cluster of pyrite grew its brassy cubes at sharp, near-perfect right angles, as though set by hand rather than by the mineral's own habit over millions of years underground. Each specimen is pulled whole from the clay-rich mines of Navajún, Spain, one of the few places on earth known for cubes this large and this cleanly formed, and no two clusters come out alike in size or arrangement.

Pyrite earned the name fool's gold for the prospectors it lured toward disappointment, yet folklore has long regarded it more kindly, as a stone of confidence and hidden fire. Its name comes from the Greek for fire, for the sparks a struck piece throws, which earlier peoples used to start flame long before matches existed.

Details

  • Mineral: pyrite, raw cluster
  • Origin: Navajún, Spain

How to use

This is a display specimen rather than a stone to carry or wear. Set it where light can catch the faceted cubes, on a windowsill or shelf, and handle it sparingly: its edges are sharp, and oil from repeated touching can tarnish the surface. Sold as a curiosity, with no medical or scientific claims.

A little hidden fire for the shelf.
