SPHALERITE on PYRITE, HEMATITE from Elba Island, Italy - Pentagonododecahedral
A fantastic specimen of sphalerite on golden pyrite with a mantle of shiny hematite, completely natural and of excellent aesthetic value. This sample is characterized by the exceptional formation of its crystals, which allows one to appreciate the well-defined crystalline faces. The naturally grown crystals possess unique and intense colors, making this piece particularly striking. What makes this specimen even more special is the group of golden pentagonododecahedral pyrite crystals resting on a layer of brilliant hematite.

Scientific Information: Pyrite, often known as "fool's gold," is renowned for its metallic luster and golden color. The pentagonododecahedral habit, seen in this specimen, is a rare and striking crystal form.
Photos: The proposed photos are taken in a special set with strong lighting. We strive not to alter the color of the specimens presented. However, it is recommended to keep the minerals in well-lit places to better appreciate their color.
Crystal Therapy: In crystal healing, Pyrite is believed to attract wealth and abundance while also providing protection and grounding. Hematite, known for its grounding and stabilizing properties, helps balance energy. Together, these minerals are thought to promote physical and emotional strength, making this specimen an ideal tool for those seeking balance and prosperity.
