Pyrite Crystals on matrix

Fools Gold / Pyrite Crystals on matrix

Pyrite crystals on matrix rock, available in a range of sizes. The sizes we sell describe the rough size of the matrix stone, not the crystals - which are typically between 5 and 30MM approximately.

Pyrite is also known as 'Fools Gold', as its shape and colour have confused miners and gold panners for centuries. It is, of course, Iron crystals, rather than Gold.

It sometimes occurs in a cubic formation, but equally can form in other shapes - decagons, dodecahedrons, and other complex shapes.
