Description
Trio of Pyrite Orbs
Peru
Two larger orbs measure 4⅜ inches (11.1 cm) in diameter, smaller orb measures 3⅜ inches (8.57 cm) in diameter. With acrylic bases.
Although maligned as "fool's gold" since the early 19th century, pyrite is in fact highly coveted by collectors who prize its rich, golden color and lustrous sheen. Offered here are three polished gold pyrite orbs with sparkling cavities of natural pyrite crystals.
