Pyrite - Cube-Shaped Crystals
Pyrite is found worldwide, but many of the finest specimens come from Peru due to the country’s unique geology.
During the formation of the Andes Mountains, mineral-rich environments developed where iron and sulphur combined to form pyrite. These conditions, along with slow crystal growth deep underground, allowed well-defined cubic crystals to develop with sharp edges and bright, metallic faces.
Many Peruvian mines extract copper, zinc, and other metals, and pyrite often forms alongside them. As a result, Peru has become one of the most consistent sources of high-quality pyrite.
These pyrite crystals were carefully chosen for our collection. Each piece reflects light from every angle.
Pyrite crystals are particularly eye-catching and make a striking addition to any rock and mineral collection.
The pieces in our photos are numbered left to right.
