Pyrite nodules from Charmouth, UK

Pyrite nodules from Charmouth, UK

Interesting little Pyrite nodules from Charmouth which are easily found along the beach at quieter times when there are fewer beachcombers. These are often fossiliferous and can occur around Ammonites or other creatures. Over time, as a result of pyrite decay, they grow into strange and unusual shapes.

In some cases, you will find they can be much more 'golden' or 'brassy'. These have been brushed with a brass wire brush to give them that colour - pretty, but they should be correctly labelled as such. Some of these pieces do have a light brassy colour - this is often oxidation from the air.
