A power-pairing of crystalline architecture and metallic brilliance. This substantial 632g cluster from the Fengjiashan Mine in Hubei, China, showcases a masterful intersection of brassy, cubic Pyrite and needle-sharp clear Quartz. We curated this piece specifically for its rare mineralogical nuances; tucked amongst the shimmering pyrite and quartz are accents of Covellite, a secondary copper mineral known for its signature indigo-blue iridescence. The result is a specimen that feels both raw and refined, offering a complex landscape of textures that shift from the golden, sub-metallic sheen of 'Fool’s Gold' to the icy transparency of quartz. It is a bold, high-contrast specimen that commands attention in any systematic collection.
