We have all seen the geometrically beautiful golden metallic cubes of Pyrite from Navajún in La Rioja, Spain, but this stunning cyclic cluster of intergrown cubes is mesmerizing. It should be noted from the outset that it is repaired, but this is nevertheless a true mineralogical wonder. Look carefully and you will see that the four cubic crystals do not form a complete circuit, but have a gap inbetween, so that three of the crystals hang off the final cube in either direction. Two of the cubes have chips missing from a corner each and there is very slight 'nibbling' along the edges of a couple of crystals, but this is a natural work of art - simply so dramatic. A fifth smaller cube protrudes from the side of the largest crystal. With mirror-bright metallic faces, this is an absolutely stunning Spanish Pyrite. The largest cube reaches 2.4 cm on edge.
