Includes one cubic pyrite crystal from Navajún, Spain (the gold standard of cubic pyrite); one pyritohedral specimen showing the characteristic pentagonal faces; and one massive/granular pyrite in host matrix. Each specimen arrives with a formal ARE ID card covering hardness, streak, cleavage, and the gold test. Makes an excellent introduction to sulfide minerals and the concept of crystal habit for new members and youth programs. Note: specimens are brass-yellow and heavy. Experienced members will resist the urge to say "fool's gold" to anyone within earshot; beginners will not.
Pyrite Specimen Display Set ("Fool's Gold Starter Kit")
Three curated pyrite specimens selected to show cubic, pyritohedral, and massive growth habits — plus a card with the streak test result so new collectors know what to look for.
