Massive Natural Pyrite Crystal Specimen

Fool’s Gold from Turkey

45 lbs

18” × 13” × 4”

Self-Standing

Exceptional large natural pyrite specimen featuring an impressive display face densely covered with hundreds of metallic brassy-gold crystals. The crystals vary in size across the specimen and show distinct geometric formations, natural striations, strong metallic luster, and excellent three-dimensional relief.

The specimen is naturally self-standing as photographed, allowing it to be displayed upright without a separate stand or mounting system. Its broad crystal-covered face, substantial 4-inch thickness, and contrasting host matrix give it excellent visual presence from multiple angles.

This is a substantial specimen weighing approximately 45 pounds and measuring approximately 18” × 13” × 4”, making it an impressive centerpiece for a serious mineral collection, office, home, gallery, showroom, or commercial display.

The reverse and sides expose the natural host matrix along with mineral veining, giving a clear view of how the pyrite formed within and across the matrix. The crystal face includes a mix of smaller and larger formations, creating a highly textured natural appearance.

I purchased this piece years ago directly from the miner who collected it from a large natural pyrite pocket in Turkey.
