Heart-shaped pyrite with great crystals

A heart-shaped pyrite from Peru with distinct crystallography. Metallic gold luster on a heart geometry formed by its discovery, where the fracture lines shape the pyrite aggregate into a natural symbol.

Pyrite (FeS₂) is an iron sulfide with a characteristic gold luster. The heart-shaped geometry is formed by fracture lines of the pyrite aggregate that occurred during its discovery. Such morphological variants are a characteristic collecting feature related to the deposit.

Peruvian deposits in Huanzala yield pyrite of the highest crystallographic quality. The pentagonal dodecahedral and cubic aggregates display the typical pyrite symmetry.

Pyrite is hard (Mohs 6.5) but can oxidize under unfavorable storage conditions. Dry storage is the professional preservation method.

Symbolically, the stone traditionally stands for self-confidence, manifestation, and financial clarity. A Peruvian collector's piece with heart geometry, a full gold-lustered surface, and Huanzala premium crystallography.
