Los 113 | A PYRITE CRYSTAL
Schätzwert
$ 8 000 – 12 000
A shockingly lustrous, reflective, beautiful pyrite crystal preserved as a large cubic form, somehow preserved intact. It has subtle details of line and texture that make it leap out to the eye, and is worthy of any collection.
Indeed, it comes from the private multigenerational collection of Elmer Ramos (the Ramos family, longtime dealers in Lima, Peru). Pyrite is one of the most beautiful minerals as a species, to collect, because of its obvious symmetry and bright golden metallic color. However, not all pyrite is the same quality, and even within pyrite crystals from the same region or mine, there are notable differences to separate quality from the rest. With a custom molded lucite display base.
4⅝ x 3⅝ x 3½ in. (11.6 x 9.2 x 9.0 cm.)
2.2 kg.
