This Pyrite Iron Cross with Matrix features a well-defined, naturally formed pyrite crystal exhibiting classic iron-cross twinning, partially embedded in its original host rock. The pyrite displays sharp cubic faces with strong striations and a rich brassy-gold metallic luster that contrasts beautifully against the coarse, granular matrix. Minor natural surface oxidation and matrix contact are present, consistent with an in-situ crystal and adding to the specimen’s authenticity. The piece has strong visual impact, with the crystal prominently exposed and well positioned for display. Please refer to the images for the best representation of this specimen. The piece is in good overall condition.
