PYRRHOTITE SPHALERITE QUARTZ
An amazing combo of three great minerals Pyrrhotite Sphalerite Quartz! This location is known for its incredible metal/mineral specimens and this is no exception. An affordable, collection-worthy piece. This specimen displays many classic barrel shaped crystals of Pyrrhotite and is from old stock. Pyrrhotite crystals are rare and hard to come by.
Location:
Dalnegorsk, Russian Federation.Dimensions:
4.9cm x 7.3cm x 6.2cm, 215g.Pyrrhotite: Fe7S8, Also given as Fe1-x (x = 0 to 0.17).
Named in 1847 by Ours Pierre Armand Petit Dufrenoy from Greek “pyrrhos”, flame-coloured. Pyrrhotite has some unusual characteristics. First, it has an unusual formula. The amount of sulfur does vary by roughly 20% or 50 to 55 atoms of sulfur per 50 atoms of iron. Or is it the iron that varies? Really the same difference. Thus the unusual formula of Fe1-xS. Secondly, it has two symmetries.

SPARKLING PYRITE CRYSTALS
Beautifully simple Sparkling Pyrite Crystals with very reflective faces. Great addition for mineral, metals or pyrite collections. The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is an iron sulfide which has the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral’s metallic luster and brass yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool’s gold. Interestingly Pyrite does not attract a magnet. This specimen comes from a premier location and sports a mini cave cavity right through.
