Two bright Pyrite aesthetically intergrown3D ModelNoAI
Locality: La Rioja, Navajun, Spain
Size: 5 x 4 x 3 cm
Formula: FeS2
Description: Two isometric crystals of the same mineral crystallize together in such a way that they are joined at a common symmetry or crystallographic plane forming a twinned crystal. This is an exceptional cluster of mirror-bright brassy pyrite aesthetically intergrown. When two, three, or more parts of the twinned crystals grow into each other, they are called penetration twin. Pyrite’s brassy golden color led to it being called Fool’s gold, but the name of the pyrite comes from the Greek word pyr meaning fire because sparks flew from it when struck with another mineral or metal.
