About the Item

A striking large pyrite sphere, expertly polished to reveal a dramatic interplay between smooth, mirror-like surfaces and natural crystalline formations. One side opens to a richly textured field of tightly clustered cubic crystals, characteristic of pyrite, creating a sparkling metallic contrast against the highly reflective, silvery-gold exterior. The surface is further enlivened by natural inclusions and fissures, adding depth and organic character to the piece. Both sculptural and geological, this substantial example serves as a bold decorative object or collector’s specimen. Diameter: 8.5 inches
