Pyrite, also nicknamed “fool’s gold,” has been culturally significant as a stone of vitality and wealth for millennia.

Some Native American tribes even used it for healing and divination, believing it to be imbued with strong, magical powers. Today, collectors love it for its sleek, geometric crystals and modern aesthetics.

Spanish pyrite, in particular, is famed for its “perfect cubes” with mirrorlike faces and sharp, exact edges.

This architectural example comprises intergrown cubic crystals that have formed in a dynamic stacked cluster, reminiscent of modern art.
