Pyrite Crystal Range

This category features natural pyrite specimens, also known as “fool’s gold,” valued for their metallic luster, cubic crystal formations, and geological significance. Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral (FeS₂) commonly found in sedimentary rock layers, hydrothermal veins, and fossil beds. Many specimens in this category include well-formed cubic, octahedral, or pyritohedral crystals, with some forming inside geodes or associated with other minerals. Pyrite often occurs in conjunction with fossil preservation, especially in marine environments where it can replace organic material over time, resulting in fossilized shells, ammonites, or plant remains encased in pyrite. Each specimen is natural and sourced from well-known locations such as Peru, Spain, or the United States. These pyrite pieces are selected for their visual structure, crystallography, and educational value. Suitable for collectors, students, and geology enthusiasts, this collection highlights the mineralogical diversity and formation processes of pyrite in Earth’s crust.
