Dimensions: 6.1 x 4.6 x 7.4cm
Location: Victoria Mine, Navajún, La Rioja, Spain
Navajún is the reference deposit for cubic pyrite: geometric crystals, often isolated in light-colored marl. The Victoria mine remains the primary source. Here, two neat, perfectly crystallized cubes display a beautiful metallic luster that changes with the viewing angle. They are nicely arranged in the matrix. The twinning on the main 2.3 cm crystal is clearly visible, with sharp edges.
Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
