Racracancha, Cerro de Pajco, Peru

The Pyrite from the Racracancha mine in Peru is renowned as some of the world's finest specimens, and this classic cluster's remarkable shine simply stuns the viewer. Exceptional aesthetics and presentation.

Prized since antiquity for its warm, golden luster and similar appearance to gold, Pyrite has earned its spot in many collectors’ displays. The mineral gets its name from the Greek, meaning “of fire,” for its ability to create sparks when struck against steel.
