Large Natural Pyrite Specimen in Dome Display Case
£1,975.00
A large cabinet scale pyrite specimen displayed in a museum-quality Victorian glass domed display case, dating to circa 1890.
Originating from 5/15 level Wheal Jane Mine, Cornwall, this native British specimen has a lustrous exterior that catches the light beautifully.
Naturally formed over millions of years, this striking mineral specimen has a calcite base with a pyrite coating. It showcases a distinctive golden colour, typical of pyrite, for which its metallic lustre is famously named ‘Fool’s Gold’.
Displayed in a sleek glass case, this unique specimen is of a unique shape and scale, making for an impressive sculptural piece in any property.
